"In our lives, we presume to know the path for our lives because we know the end result. Our path is never what we expect it to be and it is always harder than we expect. Like Abraham walking up the mountian with Isaac. It was not easy but he was trusting in something supernatural (God) to be able to do that." -Kenny Nix Abraham had extreme trust in the faithfulness of God and the task He had set before him. Each time God called out to Abraham, his response was, "Yes. Here I am." To be able to follow Christ fully, we must learn to lean into the Holy Spirit and trust the journey He is calling us to. Nothing on the front side of  surrender will be easy or feel natural. In the exchange of our way for His, the freedom that we receive is unlike anything this world can offer. Even when we would not choose the path God places before us, we can trust it because God is trustworthy. The mountains are difficult. There are times circumstances feel insurmountable. The best news about our difficulty is God sees us where we are, knows us intimately, loves us deeply and walks right beside us on our pathway.    Hebrews 11:17-19; Genesis 22:1-19 Dawn Hedgepeth
