It is out in the open then. Once again the Drydens are on the move.
This blog started in 2005 back on Blogger and in the seven years since it’s begun I have lived in five different houses! Five! In the first 18 years of my life I lived in just two properties.
Times have certainly changed.
With those changing times there might come a hankering for certain the grand old days. It is good to reflect on good times and there are good people in those good times that should never be forgotten. There is so much both good and bad to take on that is beneficial to consider for wise moves in the present.
In all that, however, there is much to be said in living in the present and ever looking to God for the next step. I’m not talking about a fashion trend things where you’re all about being on the cutting edge of the next big thing. I am talking about embracing God’s new mercies for what they are.
I have found that I am not of the mind to dwell on the past or stay in hankering for what has happened before. I’m as nostalgic as the next guy and appreciate history, but it is instrumental. It is purposeful – it is serving the needs of the now in seeking and pursuing what God would have me to do now and in preparation for what He wants me to do.
Reminded of the story of Lot and his family when they’re told to leg it from Sodom and don’t turn back. Can you imagine being told to do such a thing? Can you imagine not turning back to everything you’ve known about? Can you imagine turning your back and what was the norm and what you were comfortable with? Yet what happened to Lot’s wife, when she did that?
I am not suggesting that we’ll be used alongside vinegar if we spend out time in the past. I am seeing that when it comes to following Christ it is always onwards.
No turning back.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
