In this journey of life, I feel myself on the precipice.  I'm on the edge of something greater, something of great magnitude.  Something awe inspiring and life changing.  I can smell it's grandeur, but see only a fog.  It's blurry still, yet I can see the outlines through the mist and I know that it is something big.  Like an animal who senses a great storm or earthquake, I am restless and out of sorts.  Because deep in my spirit, I know that something huge is coming in my life, in my faith walk.  And it has already begun to hint at changing me forever, for the good of the One whom I serve.  I can't quite articulate it.  There are no words for the revelations that I feel are coming.  

Until now.

Until this morning, when I finally obeyed a prompting to dive into God Came Near by Max Lucado as my Bible study material during this Christmas season.

And there, on the first page in the first sentence, I read the words to exactly summarize this evolution in my spiritual life.
