Sounds funny saying that.
Yes folks, one year ago today, almost to the hour as well, I got down on my knees at the Skookumchuk Rapids and took the biggest leap of faith of my entire life.
I thought I knew what I was leaving behind and I thought I knew what I was getting into, but it turns out I was wrong on both counts.
My biggest fear about turning to God, to Jesus, to Holy Spirit, was that as a woman, I would be left behind, forgotten or dismissed as unimportant. I had been effectively propagandized. I was truly terrified of this. And ignorant of knowledge otherwise.
But something deep inside me told me to jump! jump anyway! Jesus is the truth!! Has anyone ever loved you enough to DIE for you???
And I didn't care about the rest of it anymore. I only knew that THAT was true love. So, forsaking everything that I once marched for, cried for and believed in, I jumped, right into His waiting arms where the first thing He let me know was that I was LOVED, so loved that it was beyond my own comprehension. And the next thing He told me was that Holy has no gender!!!!! And I wept and wept with relief... I would NOT be cast aside! I would NOT be forgotten! I was the KING'S DAUGHTER!!! And He had died for ME!!! Oh glorious love!!!!
And I laughed and I cried and I have been laughing and crying ever since. And I hope I never stop.
Please pray for me today that my journey with Him grows deeper by the day. Pray for more faith and compassion. Pray for wisdom (lots of wisdom!) Pray for direction. Pray for anything that may come to your mind and may God's blessings rain down upon you and your loved ones. Thank you folks of Cf for being part of my journey and enriching it as you have. I love you all. Truly.
