Do you ever find that no matter what's going on in life God never lets you stray too far from needing him? One area of your life may be smooth sailing but there's some piece of your puzzle that's gone astray. Where did that piece go?! You can't live without that piece! And the whole picture starts to kind of crumble. And there you are, once again, at the feet of the most loving Creator anything has ever known.
Just when you (.. I) thought that you could do this on your own, finally, you realize, OH WAIT, I CAN'T. It's kind of beautiful, to know that you don't have to ever do anything on your own. That you always have a place to run when you're lost or you get that tingly sensation in your wool that there's defs some wolves lurking around. One little "Baaaaaa" and the Shepherd is scooping you up in his arms.
It's a good day to be a lamb (sheep?). It's a good day to realize that I am what I am. And sometimes I act like a lion and sometimes I really am pretty fierce like a lion, but that deep down, I'm a sheep. And I don't have to figure out how to get to the next pasture, I really don't! I just follow. I just let go of all my tendencies to freak out about "HOW AM I GOING TO GET OVER TO THAT GREEN GRASS WHEN I SEE NO POSSIBLE PATH?!!"
Not my job. I just follow. And He takes me to some crazy/dangerous/mind blowing/humbling places that I never would have encountered without his leading. My life is better because I'm a lamb. Embrace the lamb inside of you, people. I promise it's worth it.
