A Glimpse Inside:

Chapter 26: Loneliness And Struggles

March 8th, 2024 – 7:02pm – In Solitude, Abiding In Obscurity in small-town U.S.A:

I am so very lonely. I want to go home but I do not have a home to go home to. Is this suffering for Jesus? Is this suffering for the gospel? If I am doing what God has asked me to do and I am in pain is this suffering for the kingdom of God?

I am trying to trust God. I am. I am trying so hard to do what He has asked me to do. The road ahead feels so long and seems so lonely. Oh, if only this and if only that… but none of those matters. My path is set.

Understanding isn’t necessary for faith. Faith without works is dead.

The promise of God I hold tightly to is this:

“After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be].” – 1 Peter 5:10 AMP

I have to draw close to God and allow Him to carry me through the next four years. It’s in Solitude where I am being refined. And when this is over I will emerge tried in the fires of suffering.

He alone is able to hold me fast and when I finish this work He has given me I will know that He did it all through me. What does tomorrow hold? Only He knows… the One who holds me.

Chapter 32: My Hand On The Walls Of The Cave

March 20th, 2024 – 9:09pm – In Solitude, Abiding In Obscurity in small-town U.S.A:

What is the true cost to take up our cross and follow after Jesus? I sit here wondering about this. And the question I wonder is how many of my brothers and sisters in Christ have or will ever know by experience the cost of the cross of Christ?

My sister sent out her newsletter, and I received it in my email earlier. I read it and looked at the photos of my mom and sister’s family. Pain ripped across my heart and tears welled up in my eyes. I miss them all so very much. I miss all those I’ve had to leave behind on this journey. I see all their faces and every moment we spent together with this photographic memory God has given me. I see my whole life in movie form. All the good times and the bad times are always there… for full and glorious playback. I’ve always wondered why God gave me such a wonderfully powerful memory. Perhaps one day I’ll have the answer to that question. I’m quite sure it’s something I daily take for granted.

Tonight, I just want to curl up and cry myself to sleep. Life goes by fast, I tell myself. This is all for His glory. I am doing what He asked me to do. I am in the center of His perfect will for my life. I’ve paid the cost of obedience. This suffering is temporary. Each tear is an offering of my life to Him. He holds them all in a bottle. So, after obeying God and writing this chapter… now I curl up to sleep.
