Faithfulness and the future

Are situations that seem to have no satisfactory solution challenging me to grow, to change, to become more than I have been – stronger, gentler, more responsible, more loving? Are they inviting me, perhaps, to come alive in a whole new way?*
Bessel van der Kolk

Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.**
Jesus of Nazareth

A little faithfulness goes a long way –
Each day becoming an opportunity to express
in multifarious ways,
Who we are and
what we have
in response to
the needs we find around us.

We begin to create the future
one small faithful act after another,
And we know what we must do.

This is an important theme for me
at the moment, as I am about
to step out of work and into
something new;
I have some ideas about dreamwhispering and
doodling, but these will need some
faithful support, some
activeness.

*Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score;
**Luke 16:10

  1. Ooooh! What is this “something new” of which you speak?

  2. We’re both retiring AND taking a journey to be closer to our grandson, so we’ve been setting ourselves some challenges to keep on growing.
