While i was busy putting one foot in front of the other...

I can’t tell you how many times Beth has said to me, “one foot in front of the other” – sometimes it’s how we move here…just one foot in front of the other…and sometimes it feels more like a crawl than a step. Recently beth and I were talking and I told her that I didn’t know how I was going to move from where I was to where I wanted to be…that I was out of ideas…I was out of plans…and she spoke those constant words… “one foot in front of the other”

And it would seem that while I’ve been busy putting one foot in front of the other God has been busy being his faithful self…meeting me in ways I didn’t even know.

As I reflect on the past few months…as I took time to re-read my journal and to see the places that I am not anymore…it’s amazing…the little decisions. Taking care of the things I can control…the disciplines that I have chosen to press into…one foot in front of the other.

Most days it doesn’t seem like I’m going anywhere…and then I look back and I see where I used to be…and I realize I’m not there….and all signs point to the faithfulness of a loving God…who has been busy at work beneath the surface while I was busy putting one foot in front of the other.
