When does the adjustment period end? I’ve been in this new state for almost six months. People keep saying “I hope you’re adjusting well.” The thing is I feel like I’m no longer adjusting but living. Perhaps adjustment is subjective to each person based on perspective. The day you’re reading this blog is the day after my birthday. Since starting over my trust in Christ has been tested, tried, and rebuilt for stronger. God allowed shame to be far from my doorstep. Landing on both feet, planted firmly. How can I fall when I walk on the firmest foundation? How can I misstep when all things are brought to Christ first? 

I think sometimes I can forget that in order for Christ to teach me His ways I may have to go off the beaten path. Since His ways and thoughts are higher than mine, I should expect His direction to be nothing I’ve ever done. For what is special about Christ if He only commands me to do what’s comfortable? A rebel, Jesus did not come to be agreeable but to shake up the hearts of man. To stir the pot, to separate His children from the nots. To grant a calling of hope to His followers and a consequence to those who despise Him. So when I ask God to teach me His ways and truth I am expecting a lesson like no other. 

Yet how safe are we in the hands of God? The safest. How trustworthy are His words? The highest of faithfulness. How hopeful can we be in Him? The galaxy and beyond, there is no ceiling for the hope we have in Him. So I walk boldly, confidently, and closely because nothing I face is stronger than the power of God.
