Walking on Water

What am I doing?
I’m living so completely contradictory to what man says. Mine is not a traditional life but only life as I’ve come to know it. A series of leaps of faith, walks on water, climbs to mountaintops, exiles to deserts, dodging shadows in valleys and refusing to be a Jesus cliché. Everyday I awake expecting miracles, favor and success. My bank account says “it ain’t happening.” The bills say, “You’ve got to be kiddin’. Debt-free? We ain’t having it.” The mortgage company says, “Just half-step one time…” But the Holy Spirit empowers me call what is not as if it already is and believe that the impossible is highly probable and that the possible is just too easy for God--anyway.

What am I doing?
Calling what is not as if it already is. With a child’s heart, I’m choosing to believe and take God at His Word as poured on in Jeremiah chapter 29, verses 11 through 12. “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart”

What am I doing?
Trusting God!
