Through the mist of the wood between worlds I stand on the rim of
this World… somewhere between waking and sleeping… The air is
rich, and He is there… “Dive in… I have
called you to this world… You will go and tell them about me… about the
Life I offer…” He whispers.
And so I dive… Only to find myself having
jumped out of bed and tripping over my guitar case into my open duffel bag.
Still, the echo of the wood between worlds lingers in the air. Looking out the
window to see the starry sky above, I smile deeply as I dive back into dreaming
God size dreams…
The past few weeks have been hard to do so, though. With
everything seemingly refusing to work out for me, I began to be discouraged. I
kept repeating, “I know God will provide” but deep inside I was crying out for
Him to show up…“God, where the heck are You?! I thought I was
doing what You wanted me to do?!”
Silence was all I got, though… or so I
thought. But in the past few days God has reminded me of who He is… and I am
reminded of that child-like spirit in me… the one that
jumps off the side of the pool when the father isn’t looking, but I jump
because I know He’ll catch me… The one who follows with reckless
abandon… who dreams
God-sized dreams and in the World just past the Rim of the Visible World, that
which has not been seen, is taking place… the world
where the impossible is happening all the time… Josh Wilson
has a song on his Album, “Life is not a snapshot” that sums up where God has me
as I smile deeply and prepare to dive deep into that which is unseen, unknown… because I
have proof that it is possible…just look around… the proof is
everywhere!
“Some say we’ve all been searching
for a God for years in vain
And some say belief is just the easy way around
our pain
And sometimes I’d like to agree when they’re
telling me that this is all an accident
Cause it’s hard to let this heart believe when my
mind is screaming out I need more evidence
But do I really need more evidence?
I want a miracle, something impossible
So would you help me to believe
When You say everything that’s right in front of
me
Is all the proof I’ll ever need
I hear it in the winter wind that blows the icy
snow against my skin
And I see it in that summer sun that rises high
and then burns out again
And I feel it in my chest in the quiet moments
that I trust in what You say
Would you help me trust in what You say?
Maybe this is what it means to
question You and still believe
To search and still be satisfied, to know and yet
to wonder why
To put my faith things I doubt, to love what I
can’t figure out
Maybe this is what it means
To want a miracle, something impossible
But have the faith to still believe
When You say everything that’s right in front of
me
Is all the proof I’ll ever need
Don’t need a miracle, something impossible
That makes You easy to believe
When You say everything that’s right in front of
me
Is all the proof I’ll ever need
You’re all the proof I’ll ever need
So would you help me to believe”
-Josh Wilson, “Right in Front of Me”
Launch is not far off,
and my heart is overjoyed as I fall into that which He made me to do… Dream Deeply, for the word “impossible” does not confine our Father…
“11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says
the Lord. “They are plans for good
and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will
listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you
will find me.”
-Jeremiah 29:11-13(NLT)
