So any of you who know me, know I love Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. Say what you will about the girl, she's talented and her show is cute and i feel it promotes good moral values. So anyway. She has this song called The Climb, which I love to pieces. and lately I have truly felt like that song applies to my life.
As you all know I am on this journey with god. *And by the way this is a perfect place to plug one of my pastors new books. If you don't know where you are with god, but you are definitely trying to have a deeper relationship with him and move into your purpose.. check out The Journey by Jason Anderson. Awesome book. I think it really applies to all of us in our walk with the lord.*
Now back to your regular scheduled program....
So I am on this journey with god. and my one new years resolution was to align myself with god's purpose for my life. so far, so good. its been rough, but its been good. I have been learning so much its crazy. The year just started. We are one month in, and already I have learned more about god in one month, than I have in 27 years. And the main thing that I learned is that its a process. We learn lessons in each season of life, we go through trials and sometimes you know what we fail. But then we get back up and try again until we get that area right.
We go through seasons where we have to learn to trust and have faith and truly believe in what he has for us. We have times where we are set apart, completely alone and we have to learn how to rely solely on him. We go through periods where we lose people we thought were our friends, but then we realize they never really were. We start to see the truly important things, and we start living for a different purpose. we truly are changed from the inside out. and its miraculous, because that's a change that can only come from god. its a change of the spirit, the soul, the heart...a change that allows him to work through us in ways we could not imagine. a change that allows us to be people we never thought we could be.
and after a while it doesn't start to be so much about the destination. it starts to be more about the situations we are in where we are learning these lessons. those are the most important things in our lives. and why? because without those mountains to climb and lessons to learn, we could never become who we are/will be.
thus why i love the song. its kinda prophetic...
"There's always gonna be another mountain, I'm always gonna wanna make it move, always gonna be an uphill battle, sometimes I'm gonna have to lose. It ain't about how fast I get there, it ain't about what's waiting on the other side.... its the climb"
sing on miley, sing on....
