We are a world of dry bones. We’ve hurried and worried, making productivity our goal and stress our identity. We seek the approval of faceless people we’ll never meet, changing our beliefs and personalities to make ourselves feel better.
How could we forget we are fearfully and wonderfully made?
There are three important things we need to rediscover: our identities, our likes, and our beliefs.
It’s not an easy journey. It means you have to take yourself apart and lay yourself out before God and ask, “Who am I?” It means questioning things you may have come to love or see as necessary. It means sitting down and asking, “What do I mean when I say, ‘I trust You?'”
I’m on this journey now, and I’d love to go at it with you! This is not a paint-by-number book for how to get better; it’s more of a travel journal where I share my thoughts, discoveries, and current location. You can absolutely use this to help you in your own life, but the real guidebook is the inspired Word of God.
So, with a Bible in our knapsack and a walking stick in our hand (because walking sticks are cool), let’s get this quest started!
