God was faithful to call me when I was young, but I lived with one foot in the world and only one foot in my identity in Christ. However, he knew 2016 was the year that he would be faithful to call me out of my lukewarm life and meet me at my worst.

I’ve been on mountains like this. No, thank God, I have never literally been on a mountain during an earthquake! But I’ve climbed the wrong mountain. I’ve made things that shouldn’t be mountains into mountains that I then clung to until they slipped into the sea, leaving me soaking wet and looking for a life raft.
