Today I am trying something new. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, and I'm stepping up to meet Lisa-Jo's linky challenge. Her Five Minute Fridays encourage bloggers to take five minutes to simply write whatever comes to mind - no editing allowed! Todays' prompt:
On Distance.
START
Distance. The thing that scares me most. Have I come far enough? Am I too far behind? As I write, panic pushes its way up into my throat. What if what I write isn’t good enough? What if I make myself look like a fool – with all these people reading? My fingers ache to hit the backspace button. I think my heart aches even more.
Distance. When I look back on how far I’ve come, I am shocked. I am not anything near the person I was two years ago. Next week will mark two years since God crashed His way into my life, picking me up out of the miry clay and loving my cold heart back to life.
It’s really crazy when you think about it. Who am I to even measure distance? Who am I to say that where I am is not far enough?
After all, this isn’t about me.
This is about a Man who loves me enough to take on my sin. To bare his heart to me, to whisper gently in my ear how proud He is of me.
I may not be perfect, but I am being perfected.
And He whispers... you are right where you need to be.

Good for you - challenging yourself to write this...and you wrote beautifully! I love how you talked about God whispering in your ear about how proud He is of you, and that you are right where you're supposed to be. Keep listening for His voice in your life!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Oh what a wonderful post!! Your words, knit together so beautifully with a message that spoke to my heart. Father knew that I needed to come here today. Thank you for being brave and for letting Him use your pen to speak to me.
