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.
I don’t know exactly when I realized that I was scheduled to work the same day Audrey and I were to fly to Orlando, Fl for National Club Swimming Association (NCSA) Age Group Championships.
As I prepared for my brother’s life celebration, I found out that I had no way to prepare for what I experienced. I already have the utmost admiration for my brother, still, over the course of one afternoon at West Point…
I am certain I did not understand the full significance of what he wrote then nor do I now, but I knew enough to hold onto his letters.
I tend not to be awestruck, but my older brother, Darrell, is an exception. He is my superhero.
If you have never made a declaration of faith and you want to make that commitment, here is how.
This is my nephew Joshua. He is the boy in my Joyful Crew!
