Two thoughts: when standing in fast flowing water, you have to keep adjusting your movements to stay balanced, always moving internally to be where we are when everything is trying to move us out of balance..
You cannot stand in the same water twice. You can’t breath the same air twice..I was too fearful to choose what I really wanted, also was never clear what I did want, only what I didn’t want, until now. I just reacted to the chaos around me trying to balance and go nowhere. That was my life before Jesus.

We must of been sharing a heart in this Bro, this is a box of treasure, here was the gold glaring at me:
Am I doing what I want to be doing — right now?
And if I’m not… why am I doing it?
Life doesn’t announce its endings.
What you keep feeding will eventually do the feeding for you.
Brother Stephen…
We had to be sharing the same heart when this hit.
You pulled the gold out of it — that question doesn’t let anything hide:
“Am I doing what I want to be doing — right now?
And if I’m not… why am I doing it?”
That’ll stop you in your tracks.
And that line… what you keep feeding will eventually do the feeding for you —
That’s the truth you can’t outrun. It makes you take a hard look at what you’re pouring into… and what’s quietly shaping you back.
We’re not random in this.
We’re built by the same Creator… sent out with purpose… not to drift, but to return with something that brings Him glory.
So we stay close… stay aware…
and keep drinking from the Living Water — the only place we don’t go stagnant.
Love you, brother. This one landed deep.
