We’ve been away so blogging
has been light. Normal service resuming any day now! But for today an update on
my time away.
Towards wholeness
I’ve mentioned my journey
towards wholeness a number of times on this blog. A journey that has had me
delve deeply into some painful stuff from my past but in doing so has seen a
lot of healing released. God is always good though the path he has us on may be
very uncomfortable.
And so it proved once again
in my time on the Isle of Wight. I’ve never been through the process and not
received something and sometimes that something has proven to be a major shift.
This was one of those times. The details are unimportant but I believe the
results for me will be significant. Anger and self-value have been major issues
for me and it was the self-value aspect that got drilled into this time.
Process
On a theological note, whilst
I believe that all that was needed to be done for us by Jesus was finished on
the cross I still hold on to the belief that it needs to be applied to our
lives. Becoming whole and all that entails is, for me, a process rather than an
event and as we continually open up our lives to God’s life-giving Spirit we
receive all that he has promised to us. Sometimes that process can be really
tough but the results are always worth it.
How’s your journey going?
