Who are you riding with?

Today Jess and I were driving to learn about another piece to this gigantic puzzle which is my life. Without going into great detail about the puzzle or this piece I will just say that it will be the greatest challenge I will have faced my entire life. Not only does this piece of the puzzle reveal...

my character, discipline, and power to exercise choice but it will reveal another piece to the complete call on my life. Hard work is evident, danger is promised and the reward to others will be great.  As we were driving, a song called "Withholding Nothing"  by William McDowell was playing on the radio and suddenly an overwhelming awareness of sacrifice came over me. Not the type of sacrifice where something is taken from you but the kind that you freely give away without knowing the results of your actions. The kind of sacrifice that says “you lead and without hesitation I will follow.” At the same time I felt this weight, a question popped in my head "Why is Jessica riding with me?"  So you know me. I asked her. She simply responded "Because you are the truth and I love you." What an amazing statement. Check out her full meaning at JessInTime All I could think of was when was the last time I trusted and loved anyone so sacrificially? Forget others, when was the last time I trusted myself to make life changing sacrifices for me?  Not trying to probe deeper into her response as if looking for validation, I simply left it at that and told God that I also believed Him to be the truth and I loved Him.

So here we are together riding to get another piece of not my puzzle but our puzzle. I now realize that we are both sacrificing, trusting and believing that God is in the midst leading us to our destiny. And you know what? There is nothing in the world like taking a trip of faith and riding with someone who believes in you and that we are both headed in the right direction.
