But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.
Luke 2:19
Oh, how my heart connects and resonates with this verse. I ponder so much {sometimes too much}. Yet, the God-stories keep brewing up in my heart. Often, they need to be treasured and pondered before poured out. God likes to move in a whirlwind to shake things up and fling wide His guiding hand. I am grateful for movement, but my processing lag keeps piling up. The words flitter on the edge of spilling out, but then I am speechless all at once. I keep saying, “Lord, help my unbelief. I can believe BIG for others, but help me believe BIG for me too. Help me believe that You really do have a good plan when all seems lost. Throw a few tangible love notes my way.” Yet, I am thankful that He does move even when I’m still saying, “Wha?” When I can’t even finish my question before falling headlong into his doors flung wide open. And as I so lovely just read, “Sometimes waiting takes a lot more effort than moving forward.” So, here I fall forward in some areas and keep on in the hard of waiting in others. Faithfulness abounds and the hard will bring even more God-stories.
So, tell me…how are you doing? pondering anything in your heart? waiting? falling headlong forward fast? where are you at now?
