Right Now!

Have you ever seen a picture that looks like one thing when you are far away then like something different when you are looking at it up close? My Dad has a friend that painted this beautiful piece of a blue bird with a nest in a mailbox, but wait if you look at it another way it appears to be a manger scene-with baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph, so which is it?

Lately I have been faced with a lot of transition in my life both personally and professionally. As I continue on this journey of self discovery I always want to know RIGHT NOW what I should do! Unfortunately right "now" I do not know the "big picture" to make those decisions. There have been plenty of times in life where things seemed to be one way and then as I approached what I was heading towards-things looked totally different. On some occasions "the excursion" could have been quite simple, but with my need for instant gratification I made it even more complicated. Moments like that remind me how important my faith is. I have to be completely dependent on the Lord as I continue to journey with Him. If not, I may begin to make decisions based on what I am hoping the picture is going to look like instead of what it really is. There could be a chance that I will only see a little blue bird in a mailbox instead of Jesus with the many blessings that he has for me.

Hebrews 11:1

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
