I didn't need to feel helpless. I didn't need to

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what

It seemed so quiet in there—awfully quiet. And

It seemed so quiet in there—awfully quiet.

And then I heard him.

I could hear his voice. He was singing his heart out to the Lord. Calling on His Name. Pouring out his pain before Him.

Our son was seeking after God.

So when did that happen? When did that subtle change from boyhood to manhood begin? And when did he start looking less to us and more to Christ?

These are the questions that have been much on my mind lately. Not only as I watch this same son continue to draw near to God, but as I consider his three younger brothers. What about those boys? Will they grow up to follow Him?

The Lord has good things in store for our young men and women!

"The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek The Lord lack no good thing." ~ Psalm 34:10 ~

“One of the things that stood out was, ‘Hey,

It is interesting to hear my kids tell their stori

It is interesting to hear my kids tell their stories in the aftermath of our day at the amusement park.

One child in particular will tell you she loved it. She will tell you exactly which coasters she rode and how many times she got right back in line, while we will remember the death grip she had on every lap bar, her hands fierce as eagle’s claws. We will remember her eyes forced shut, her face scrunched tight, contorted for endurance, survival, and only relenting at the ride’s conclusion.

Apparently, that is what it means for her to love a coaster.

This morning I was reading Romans 12, a passage that feels like the most straight forward instruction, full of clear-eyed reminders when life gets muddy. And I paused at verse 9. “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.”

“Hold fast” gave me pause. It doesn’t say to love what is good, but rather hold fast to it. Some translations say cling to it. These are active and intentional, precise words. The Scripture doesn’t say lean toward or favor what is good. It doesn’t say try your best or even just hold on to what is good. The word is qualified - hold fast, tightly, cling to, cleave.

That paints a more specific picture, doesn’t it? For me it paints a picture of a little girl on a roller coaster. It’s white knuckles and clenched fist. It’s fixed and focused, eyes wide shut. It’s a visual I need to see to remember how important this is. It just might take some gritty effort to continually grasp the good.

To read the rest of Katie's story, follow the link in the bio to the @club31women blog.

We are all living in our own rollercoasters of life and while we're here, remember to hold fast and then, to hold fast to what is good.

What are you holding fast to right now? If you feel comfortable sharing, drop it in the comments below. Or if it's personal, just type in 'Holding Fast!'
