Faithfulness
/ Autumn McKenzie Jackson
“Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!”
Earlier this year, I reconfigured RoadMaptoYourDreams.com to make content more accessible. I created six different categories of content. This week is my least favorite to talk about but the most important. Faith.
Why is it my least favorite? Sharing is difficult at baseline. Faith feels so personal and it further increases my discomfort. Then why did I list it as a category? I must acknowledge God's work in my life. I cannot deny it as an integral part of my work life balance.
I am no theologian. All I have is my story of what God did for me during an impossible time. Every morning when I wake, I ask for God to order my steps. Every night I thank him for his mercy and his grace.
This is my dad, Benjamin McKenzie. He is a handsome tall man. More often than not, you hear me talk about my mom. My mom was the outspoken one and it is easy to give her credit for most but that would be inaccurate.
On paper, I appear to be over committed and pulled by two sports in separate directions.
Today is Audrey’s birthday. She is 14 years old. I must tell you about her! What an extraordinary young lady! In addition to being an excellent student, she plays the saxophone and is an excellent swimmer. She is beautiful…
What beautiful and impactful work you do that has generational and eternal significance!
Then she asked me about my wedding dress and if she could try it on. I told her tomorrow would have been our wedding anniversary.
The last post I wrote was nearly two years ago. I have been grieving, slaying giants, raising champions, and growing in faith.
Tory Palecek is my best friend from college. I met Tory the first day of volleyball preseason freshman year at Colgate University. We were both incoming freshmen. She immediately made an impression on me.
