Resistance
It seems a constant in my life that the best things God has for me are those same thing I at first resist the hardest.
Take my husband. He can probably tell you the number of years, to the day, that I resisted before I succumbed to his charm.
And what a good thing God had in store.
I’ve done it with churches, jobs, ministries, friendship, even writing.
My first answer is No.
And then He pushes me forward from behind.
Sometimes a gentle nudge. Others a full-force shove.
One day, with my heels dug in deep, He threw me headlong into it with a friend that now I can’t imagine life without.
And today is her birthday.
(I sure hope this doesn’t backfire.)
