The third point Buford gives really struck a chord with me:
Third, show that you believe by moving forward
before there is tangible or visible reason to do so—
even while weeping, sow seeds for the future you envision,
though the path may be uncertain
and you may just not feel like it . . . yet.
Why? Because I've done this so many times. I've felt that sort of Why is this happening? feeling... and I just keep moving forward, keep hoping... I could recognize myself in this devotional... And that fact that this devotional was written and put out there says, 'Hey, guess what - when you feel like you're not sure what's going to happen, or you're overwhelmed, or you're just hoping for a light, something, anything... You're not alone in that. There's nothing wrong with it. Just keep moving forward, keep hoping; don't get stuck.'
Have you felt like this? What ways has God brought you through it in the past?
I feel a tinge of this now, what with relocating and worrying about how I'm going to get around (without getting lost) and finding a job near school and making new friends (and trying to stay in touch with the old)... But I've got hope. And I know that God has brought me through harder, scarier times than this. So I know it's going to be all right.
