CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Several years ago I started to pray, very innocently and ignorantly, that God would remove anything that comes between he and I. I prayed that he would take this decade of my life and tear me down to the foundation if he needed to.  He has since and is still dismantling me and humbling me and teaching me and at times it is down right painful. Asking him to show me my agreements (lies that come out of my hurts and woundings) is one way he is teaching me. Another is through images that he gives us in scripture.  I like to hunt and be in the woods so this image I have been given lately that I can’t get out of mind takes place perhaps in the wilderness. Iit comes from Jeremiah 6:16 “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it”. In my mind I am looking around and I am so busy that I can’t see what is right in front of me, what has been there the whole time.  I can’t see this slightly hidden but well beaten path unless I slow down and take my time, unless I engage, unless I remove the unnecessary things from my life. I am reminded that there are no short cuts. I have to push back the agreement that I make that says, “You are 35 and what do you have to show for it. Work harder, worry more, prove yourself” and believe that this time in my life is a time to take the low seat at the table. To purposefully choose what sometimes looks backwards to the world because I am not fighting for the top spot at the table. I am in search of the narrow gate Matthew 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.  For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few”. I want to find and take the ancient path to the narrow gate. I want to be led to life. There is a way that has been made for me. I am pleased and honored to be on this path with you.
