Currently, I’m achieving my wildest dreams and doing so with full confidence in the Lord’s goodness. Isn’t that simply amazing?

I can’t say I’ve ever really been here before, and as I’ve been reflecting with Jesus this morning, a lukewarm coffee in one hand and a puppy nestled into my right side, I’ve discovered His closeness and intentionality across my life.

All of it too.

Not just the good stuff. Of course He’s been there in the good stuff. But He’s been there in bad stuff as well. Actually, especially the bad stuff. The really bad stuff. The things few people know. The things that still thump in a dull ache and act as background noise. The kind of stuff only God can fix.

And yet, good grief, this morning I am so are of God’s faithfulness, kindness and commitment. I’m so aware of how much worse things could have been. I’m so aware of how each and every one of these experiences are being redeemed. Those dull aches are becoming wildfires within me. Under me. I’m charging forward into the unknown, not only expecting that God will

make my path straight, but knowing He will. He has too. He promised and has proven time and time again that when we say “yes” He does amazing things. Wildest dreams type things.
