Miles walked: 912
Miles remaining: 88
Days remaining: 39
Years ago, when I was going through my divorce, I prayed that God would be so present with me that I wouldn’t feel alone. Being married was all I had known and I didn’t know how to not be. He answered that prayer. In the last 8+ years, there has not been any time that I’ve been “lonely”. There have been some quiet times and some hard times but I have always felt His presence when I needed Him. I’ve never been alone.
Some weeks are harder than others to come up with a blog about what’s going on in my life. It’s not exactly because there’s nothing going on, but more that I just can’t put it into words. God is so present when I earnestly seek Him. He leaves me speechless with His works. I felt His presence so strong and was so thankful for it during the worship on Sunday. This song describes most of my life but even more so, it describes my last 11 months and 900+ miles and all of the changes that are happening in me.
“Never Once”
Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we’ve come
Knowing that for every step
You were with usKneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in usScars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can sayNever once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful.
God has been there for far longer than I’m giving Him credit for. The deliberateness that this walk has provided, for a relationship that I didn’t even know that I was missing, has been the biggest blessing that I could ever have. I’ve learned so much about me.. about who I am, who I want to be, and what I’m capable of with Jesus by my side. I can see that with Him, there are no limits.
