Learning, Trusting, and Sharing the Journey of Faith
Introduction: Marveling at Thirty Years of Divine Guidance
If you had told me thirty years ago where God would take me, I’m not sure I would have believed it. Looking back, I’m filled with awe at the ways the Lord has guided—sometimes gently, sometimes through challenges I never expected. This journey has been one of surprises and lessons, and it’s led me to often pause and ask, “How can this be?”
Personal Reflections: Moments of Awe, Uncertainty, and Challenge
Some moments have left me speechless—those quiet times when I sensed God’s presence so clearly, or when an answer came just as I’d run out of my own wisdom. Other times, I walked through seasons of uncertainty, not sure what the next step would look like. There were days of deep challenge—moments that stretched my faith and made me question if I was truly following where I was supposed to go. Yet, through each of these, I’ve seen the Lord’s hand working, even when I couldn’t see the whole picture.
Staying Grounded: Holding Tight to God’s Word and Spirit
Through all the twists and turns, I’ve learned the importance of staying rooted in God’s word. The Bible has been my anchor—a source of comfort, encouragement, and sometimes a gentle nudge when I needed it most. Prayer and listening to God’s Spirit have become part of my daily walk, helping me to act with grace even when I don’t have all the answers. It’s in these quiet moments with God that I find clarity and strength to keep going.
Obedience and Proclamation: Sharing the Message with Faith and Compassion
Obedience hasn’t always come easily, but I’ve seen the beauty in trusting God, even when the path seems uncertain. Sharing the good news of God’s love isn’t about having all the right words or knowing every answer—it’s about letting faith and compassion guide what I say and do. Over the years, I’ve found that simple acts of kindness or honest conversations often speak louder than a sermon. When we let God’s love shine through us, others notice—and that’s when hearts are touched.
Prayer and Hope: A Desire for Others to Hear, Receive, and Respond
My hope is that the message of God’s love reaches beyond just my own story. I pray that others will hear, receive, and respond in faith—discovering the same hope and peace I’ve found. It’s a wonderful thing to see someone’s life change because they’ve encountered the Lord. That’s why I keep sharing, keep praying, and keep believing.
Conclusion: Continuing the Journey with Faith
Thirty years have passed, and I still wonder, “How can this be?”—not out of doubt, but out of amazement at what God can do with a willing heart. The journey continues, and though I don’t know every step ahead, I trust the One who leads. My prayer is that each of us would stay grounded in God’s word, act with grace, and walk in obedience, so that together we can share this heavenly message with faith and compassion. May we all keep moving forward, full of hope for what God will do next.
