…of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. – Lao Tzu
It’s been a while since I have published anything to the public. I feel rusty. I feel disorganized and disoriented. I feel like I am walking on the sands of the beaches of North Carolina as the tide washes back out.
All in all, I feel unstable. Yet, this is precisely where I need to be.
Over the years, I have learned that God doesn’t call the equipped; instead, He equips the called.
What am I called to do?
Honestly, in the weeds of it all, I have no idea. Yet, I trust He’s given me a desire to share with others as a means of calling only to glorify Him.
A long time ago (circa 2010), I started this blog called Relevant Brokenness. I shared a lot about…you guessed it…brokenness. Alas, I burned out by the time 2014 rolled around – and it’s been difficult to pick up where I left off. But, like a bike, you really never forget how to ride; but you can feel a little off kilter if it’s been 10+ years since you rode one.
Now it is just past the halfway mark of 2022, and I am tapping on the keyboard again.
Just what will I write about then, on here, now – eight years since I “put up my keyboard?” A little bit of this and a little bit of that…but, my aim is to make sure that every step I take glorifies Him. I seek to do this by sharing about some things that God has used in this life to help restore joy back into my life.
I hope those of you who happen upon this little part of the vastness of the Internet find a little hope that meets you all exactly where you are and encourages you in whatever [hard and tough feeling] spaces you find yourself in right now. In turn, I hope that God uses this hope and grows it in you as you practice it.
