"And Great Was The Fall Thereof..."
Hello friends! Sorry it's been a while since I last posted, but with school winding down, things have been pretty busy in my little corner of the world! Lots of things have transpired since I wrote my last post, and I'm not going to lie when I say that my spiritual life has been a struggle these past couple of weeks. Remember that prayer intention I always mention that I've been praying about for months? Well back in October, I was pretty sure that God was definitively telling me "No". Initially, when I thought this was His answer, the parable that first came to my mind (I did not know why at the time) was about the two houses - one built on rock, the other on sand. And the storm came, and the winds blew. And the house built on sand fell, "and great was the fall thereof" (Matthew 7:24-27). It wasn't until I was having coffee with a friend that I realized why: For months I have been idolizing my prayer intention. I have been going to God because of it...
