Jesus said, "you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." But how can we really know what the truth is when there are so many distractions that make us question . . . what is truth? 

People talk frequently about finding the "love of their life". I couldn't help but wonder if that statement was true, I mean is the "love of your life" something that can really be obtained?  Do we even comprehend the depth of that statement, or is it just a phrase that gets thrown around hap heartedly? If it does exist, what happens to those of us that are in a marriage/relationship where that statement is the furthest thing from your mind . . . is there hope?  

The making of new wine requires a crushing and pressing process in order for the grapes to become a wine that we can consume.  I have found that our walk with God contains it's own crushing and pressing process in order to take us from the person we are today to the person God desires us to be. 

Nothing went as planned these last two weeks.  I was faced with the brutal reality that my expectation was on a collision course with reality in a devastating way. The question was how would I choose to navigate through it?  How could I step back and let someone else take charge, or allow God to have the reins?  

I recently put new sod down and it required consistent watering in order to grow and thrive as it was intended.  I realized just like my new sod needs water so do we, both literally and spiritually.  That's why Jesus tells us in John chapter 7 verse 38; rivers of living water will flow from our hearts.  The question is, how are we tapping into that resource and what are we deciding to water on our own spiritual journey?

Navigating the chaos of life together one step at a time.
