I've been on a journey for several years now. The road has been long. I've walked through the desert, the valley, and the wilderness. Sometimes, I got to stand on the mountain top and see what the Lord led me through, and how he helped me overcome. Recently, the Lord called me to walk with him through the book of Deuteronomy. I knew I was in for another adventure when the Lord lit up Chapter 1:6-8.
"...You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Break camp and advance into the hill country....See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession..."
The Lord just called me out.
At first, I was discouraged. Not back to the wilderness. I was just there. I shared my frustration with a dear friend. Her correction was gentle:
"This call is not a call to return to the wilderness. This call is the Lord leading you into the promised land. He wants to take you into the fullness of His promise."
Now you may think I'm talking about my spiritual journey, and in some ways, I am. But for the most part, I'm talking about my journey as a writer. It's time to move on. It's time to fully enter into what He has for me.
I'm still struggling with fear. I want to trust that the Lord will continue to bring this story to life. There are days when I feel completely incapable of writing anything good. But the Lord has continued to use Deuteronomy to encourage and remind me of His faithfulness.
The Lord wants to lead me into a 'good land'. It's time to break camp and follow in faith.
