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.
There are levels to everything. I can live a religious life that is sterile and devoid of divine power and muscle through life exhausted and overwhelmed or I can recognize the fullness of what Christ Jesus died to give me.
It has taken me years to express the sentiment found in this post. God has been working on my heart. There was a lot of shame and blame mixed in with my raw emotions that I needed to process.
The possibilities are endless. She is learning to hear from God. She knows that He has a plan and a purpose for her life. She has persevered through many things and her story of overcoming with help others.
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.
I am learning to thrive in increasingly complex situations.
