"Here by the water I'll build an altar to praise You, out of the stones that I've found here. I'll lay them down here rough as they are; knowing You can make them holy."
Stones. They are everywhere. Stumbling stones, stepping stones, stones for throwing, stones for piling. In the bible, stones are used for remembering. This is a place for me to pile my own rough stones of remembering along the road I am traveling, one post at a time. They are more than mere words thrown out into the wake of my path. They are a concrete testament of God's faithfulness, provision and goodness along the way.

Trust
I lied. Well, maybe it would be better to say I tried. I really, really, really wanted gratitude to be my word for 2015. For a brief moment I lost sight of the point of all this, that it's never been my word to choose. I felt leading into 2015 that the word was going to be trust and of course that made perfect sense, but I figured if I was living in gratitude then trust (and pretty much everything else but the kitchen sink) was going to be covered. But I think that is the problem. My word; or should I say God's word, for my year is always about a deep work that God wants to do in me. And, yeah... trust? That's it people. And while I know from experience that I can't even fathom one tenth of what He wants to teach me about trust this year, I also know from experience that it will test me, try me, grow me and be really, really powerful.
