Choosing Obedience Over Output

Do you know what’s truly important to you?

When bad things happen to us, they have a way of revealing the contents of our mind and heart. My first thought, when my computer broke, was: How can I write today and do what God has asked me to do?

As I realized my files couldn’t be retrieved, my mind went to one book. If everything else was taken from me, I wanted that book to be saved. And in that moment, God showed me what I need to be working on.

Moving forward, I’m not sure how much I can do. I’ve been blogging and sharing daily for years now, but I’m realizing I can’t do everything at the same pace and still be faithful to what God is asking of me. So I’m inquiring of the Lord.

I know this book is part of my life’s work. It’s a book I wish I’d read many years ago. It’s needed, and finishing it has become my priority.

Sometimes I put so much pressure on myself to do it all. But this work has never been about doing everything. It’s about doing what God wants me to do.

I have two goals for this year: to follow God and to trust Him. If I can do those things, I believe everything else will fall into place.

So if you don’t see as much from me for a while, just know that I’m still here—writing, listening, and following. What I share may be shorter, less frequent, or something I’ve shared before.

I don’t know where we’re going.
I don’t know how we’re going to get there.
But I’m so thankful to be on this journey with my Lord.

Loving and serving Him is such a blessing.
