Pilgrims On The Way


our old theologians used to make a lot out of the distinction between God's knowledge and ours...they distinguished...between a knowledge of God in himslef (a theology of glory), which was unavailable to us, and a revelation of God accommodated to our weakness (a theology of the cross). they called "our theology" theologia viatorum, "the theology of pilgrims." while pilgrims haven't already arrived, they know where they're headed and are even now on their way by God's grace. -Michael Horton

PULLING MY HAIR OUT!!1

It's been a day like that: I have seen another side of me that I don't like!! I've been pushed to, what feels like the extreme... but I know it's not as extreme as it could be, or is for others.
I still feel like I'm surviving day-to-day; two little boys and a near-due baby, a sick husband who's out of work, financial crunch and an unknown tomorrow, extreme exhaustion and an aching back all put me in a "just endure this day" mode.
Granted, I do wake up every day with a fresh perspective... and I am posting this comment at the end of a particularly hard day. I cling to the promise that "His mercies are new every morning- GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS O LORD!" As for my part in getting beyond "survival"- as a friend encouraged me to- I am weak. I just thank Him so much that He holds onto me!
I am the wounded soldier in the trenches who has no strength to survive, but my Companion locks His arms under mine and over my chest, and in this embrace he pulls me through the muck until we can see the enemy defeated.
Pray for me if you read this! Let me know if I can also pray for you; in this way we can encourage each other on in our journies!!
