Away Over Jordan's Stormy Banks

I was sitting quietly in my son’s guest room on Christmas morning.  I had read the Ancient Text beginning poignantly on the 23 Psalm.  I had read Lewis and Keller.  Prayed.  Written and still, our home was quiet.  I opened the blinds to see dawn come and begin to just be with Him.  I am tired of faith.  Really growing weary of the ongoing imagination of Jesus.  The Spirit’s stirring in me a mix of hope, longing, and doubtful wandering.  Faith is all we have.  There is nothing but a memory now.  I am growing ever more dependent upon The Spirit to keep up my lagging faith.  I imagine this is The Way.  The Way of our daily borne cross which in the end leads to a dying of seeming forsakenness while all the while our faith’s Object is carrying us away over Jordan’s stormy banks.
