when life doesn't make sense

"Come to Me with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. A close walk with Me is a life of continual newness. Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year. Instead, seek My Face with an open mind, knowing that your journey with Me involves being transformed by the renewing of your mind. As you focus your thoughts on Me, be aware that I am fully attentive to you. I see you with a steady eye, because my attention span is infinite. I know and understand you completely; My thoughts embrace you in everlasting Love. I also know the plans I have for you: plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Give yourself fully to this adventure of increasing attentiveness to My Presence."

~ from Sarah Young's Jesus Calling

As I begin 2009, I find myself somewhere unexpected. Abstract as well as physical. I have a lot of thoughts and feelings to sort through, sift through, work through. I must confess that I'd rather be anywhere but this place.

So, I lean on the only One who has already been there, is here, and is where I am going.
