Deeper Together

Is God the center of my life? Am I rooted in Him? How deep are my roots? Lately it seems as though there are many things Dalton and I are awaiting. Situations we thought would be resolved by now or would at least be heading toward resolution are still hanging out there. We feel as though we don't have any more ideas to try and our last ditch efforts, we are hoping, don't come up short. With that, I've been having to dig deep lately. I've had to recenter myself by spending quality time with Jesus.  I've had to request peace and discernment for next steps. We are seeking God's will and taking steps based on where doors are opening and closing. We've been quite befuddled at times. We've been quite excited at times.  We've been quite annoyed at times. We been quite anxious at times. Thankfully, in all of those emotions, Jesus is constant.  We bend and sway, but we are not shaken at our roots.  Our roots are firmly planted and we are using this time to grow deeper together in Christ. I wish it didn't take hard times to grow.  I wish we would seek God just as much in the good times. Alas, we are human. And, who am I kidding, I enjoy the grace that abounds in those tough moments. I just wish we could have some type of closure somewhere. ;-)
