when you dig, dig deep
I feel as if those “call before you dig” signs could apply here.
It’s interesting what happens once you get started and realize that God has a lot of things in store for us. He’s more interested in the deep heart work and the continual than the temporary and uncomfortable. To me, my life so far as been such a journey of figuring out who I’m not. I’m so interested to find out who I am. I haven’t had a lot of jobs in the working world – but I have held jobs that cause me to ask the harder questions of myself about calling and about deeper things than how fast I can type and if my resume is sharp. (because I type fast enough and my resume is a seemless collection of things I’ve learned but doesn’t necessarily reflect the heart of who I am.
I’ve need to call before I dig. I need to call on God to ensure that the process I’m about to undertake will lead somewhere – besides just feeling lost. Which, currently is a bit how I feel. Of course, it does have a bit to do with the pace at which life seems to be changing both in the working world and in my personal life.
So, be sure to call before you dig, and while you’re at it, dig deep.

Sure Kelly, we need to call on Him before we dig…and be ready to accept His opinion about it all even when what He says is what we´d like to hear least. I would add- call on Him and then trust His words. You know, there were things during last several months for which I cried, looked painful. And now I cry again, when looking back- because now I can see His loving hand- those tough moments turned out to be the mightiest blessings ever! He was working hard every day on creating intimacy btw me and Him… ´call on Him before you dig deep and then trust ´cause He already knows what is further ahead.´ Thanks Kelka for writing this:)) May He help us dig much deeper below the superficial layers.

Miska! I definitely agree. Trusting God is a key element to our faith, that without it we would not be able to function as believers. I appreciate your thoughts on these things and helping me to see my need for trust! Miss you Miska!
