A year changes everything...

Sunset at Owl's Head Park, Brooklyn, New York

Again, this isn't a picture that I have taken today.  It was a picture I took quickly, looking back and snapping quickly as my group began to leave.  I'm glad I turned back to take it, but am reminded that when we turn back, we don't always find something as beautiful as this.  Today I am reminded of how quickly a year changes things.  A year changes everything...

If I created the heavens and earth, surely I know what to do with your precious life.

Last year this time, I was on a plane to New York, not prepared or expecting my life to be turned upside down in the most literal sense.  It's quite astonishing if I look back at this year and think about what was left behind, what was overcome, and what is yet to come.

I just started, with my bible study, "To Live is Christ" by Beth Moore.  The goals of the study I think speak to every Christian, but spoke to me in a way that helps me to step back from the reality of loss to the truth of the present.  She challenges us to see the learning disabilities of every Christian seeking knowledge from God.  She challenges us to overcome these disabilities:

1. Spiritual Attention Deficit
2. Spiritual Hyperactivity
3. Spiritual Dyslexia
4. Hearing Impairment
5. Vision Impairment

I can't wait for the study to reveal itself in time.  One thing already revealed?  God's power is strong.  God is enough.
