Leaving Ur...

I, am leaving Ur.  I have considered this journey before, but was not prepared.  My responsibilities, and life’s entanglements kept me restrained.  The Lord has release me, and now I am moving forward. 

My Lord has been silently performing wonders and providing the means to accomplish this journey.  The power I previously awarded comfort, familiarity, security and fear had constraint me but now, my Savior has dismantled them. 

As I pack possessions, consider resources, and prepare for what lies ahead, I am unable to hide my excitement.  I am like a bride waiting at the altar for the one she loves. However, I have not chartered a route for I do not know my destination.  These are my footsteps of faith and I trust in him.  In my head, I hear the voices of opposition.  Those who are fearful, I may be harm along the way.  I say to them:  I know in whom I have believed.  He is my shelter, and I reside under the shadow of the Almighty. 

  

Pray for me as I launch.  I am looking forward to sharing what lies ahead and as I write this, I smile.
