For your reading (and contemplating) pleasure

This post about Lot's wife and the dangers of looking back particularly struck me today. (The post is from Bring the Rain, so those of you who follow her blog may have already seen/read it.) The past month or two in particular I have been struggling not to look back longingly for what could have been. This post was a good reminder that God is first of all concerned with our obedience in moving forward--simultaneously fleeing from sin while also growing in wisdom and trust in God's will--and that, as an added bonus, where he's asking us to go is also incomprehensibly better for everyone involved.

Sometimes it's just too hard to look past my own nose. We can't see the big picture, but we can have faith in its beauty, knowing the One who painted it.

What a gift. What a promise.

Keep on keepin' on, friends.
