Back Where You Started
I’m starting to feel like soon, I’ll be back to where I started with just my husband and me, no kids. Back to the days before it all.
I turn to Psalm 16, a psalm that in many ways started it all for me with the Lord. It was one of the first psalms I ever memorized, and I’d recite it as my snow boots crunched the icy sidewalk as I walked to class as a graduate student at the University of Michigan. Reading it now, 25 years (and a husband and two children and three cats) later, I find it remarkable. I go back to where I started. Back then, I was hoping in these things. But now? I see the fulfillment.
God was faithful. God kept His promises. I underline this again:
You will make known to me the path of life;
Psalm 16:11
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
God taught me where to find abundant life, the life that is truly life.
God taught me how to find joy.
God showed me pleasures beyond anything I could imagine.
I’m back to where I started with Jesus.
