I am struggling to remember how many years it has been since I started this blog. I know it is not a large impressive number, but the volumes of life that have happened seem super weighty. It all started because I had so many things churning in my heart I thought I might explode if they didn’t come out. I think I am approaching a similar place in life so maybe you will be hearing from me more regularly, we will just have to see.
The tagline for my blog is ‘to taste and see the fullness of life in Christ.’ After seeing so many things in life change, I must pause and be silent at how these words still ring true in the depths of my heart. If anything, after weathering these last few years, they speak to a deeper, more true reality than I knew existed when I first wrote them. Life in Christ. Our small, intimate, often hidden, life in Christ is what will remain when we see Him face to face. Living congruent with our in Christ self as we walk this Earth, in the already-not yet reality of His kingdom, is where we either taste and see the fullness of life or we miss it. I don’t want to miss it. I am swimming in all the shiny, easier, more alluring opportunities this world has to offer. Some days I don’t even realize I am feasting on them. The Lord is so kind and keeps drawing me back to himself and helping me remember the fullness of life in Him so I can taste the difference. Lord help us catch glimpses. Help us taste and see the fullness of life you offer us in Christ. Teach us to see ourselves as you see us, as your Beloved.
