When I started this blog, I had a really hard time deciding on a name. I'm not really good at that sort of thing :/. But lately I've been thinking about this idea of "Stepping Heavenward." That's actually the name of a book. It's a book I read several years ago that I really loved. It's the journal of a girl, starting when she's 16, and it follows her through her life; marriage, children, relationships with God, until her death. It was amazing reading about all the things she said and did when she was young.... and all that she learned through many unexpected circumstances.
I feel like so much of my life has been one step at a time. It started at 19 when all I had planned and thought would happen changed abruptly. He brought me to a place of uncertainty.... where all I could see was the very next step. And now, almost 10 years later, I am still taking one step at a time. I'm still only seeing today. I'm understanding even more clearly the uncertainty of the next day... even of the next hour. And I'm learning how to love Him in the moment. I'm learning how to live in right now through thankfulness and grace.
This blog is still dedicated to my journey in health and weight loss.... but also to the spiritual lessons I'm learning through this aspect of my life. And, really, the spiritual lessons I'm learning through every aspect of my life. It's becoming clearer and clearer that everything I do and experience is designed on purpose to reveal Him to me.... and me to me.... and what He is doing in me... and what He wants me to do with all that He is showing me. I know there's a lot of "me" in there. But, truly..... it's Him. And I hope that's what I portray. Please, let only Christ be visible in me. Amen.
