Those of you non-short people out there may not understand my picture today; but trust me, my step stool lifts me up to places I couldn't go without it :-)
We depend on a lot of things to lift us up in life - our family & friends, jobs, hobbies, food, guilty pleasure tv shows...we look forward to these things, they brighten our day, provide a refuge, and help us face life's daily grind and challenges.
This Lent season has made me realize that, until recently, my faith has not made that list often enough. It's not an excuse, but having a home church makes all the difference. At Resurrection Life my involvement in the choir led me to connect with God authentically throughout the week. During our 2 years in Kalamazoo we searched for a church, but never found one that felt right. Now that we are back on the East Side I have committed myself to devoting more time and energy to my faith. I have just started singing at church again and I am going on a youth mission trip to Mexico as a translator. I think these experiences will lift me up in my faith, reconnect me with God, and help me seek out my faith as a comfort and support more often.
Psalm 18:2
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety.
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety.
