I snapped this picture to remind myself that stepping into unknown & scary places that God calls us to; while not easy, is what we were created for.

And after more hard yesterday I woke up with a deep sense that Jesus came, not only to redeem the end of our story, but to be present, in the midst of the hard and the darkness. The being present part is where I want to skip ahead to the happy ending but He is comfortable there, gently inviting me to feel peace when nothing makes sense or is “fix-able.”

This shaky step felt right even though we were terrified. And we are not unprepared even though we are insufficient. And that is good news.
