I Wonder How Long...

Repost from my Myspace Blog, 2-1-08

Today I read a scripture that, for a time, was the only verse in the Bible that I felt rang true to where I was in my life:

Isaiah 1:16 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness— only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil.

And I had a thought: If I had stayed in Indiana, never moved to Florida, never been to Heartland, and most of all, never attended an Experience, I wonder how much longer it would have take me to find true, complete healing for my wounded, broken, oozing inner self? I know God would have done it eventually, because He's faithful and He wants me to have abundant life. But when you obey, even when you don't want to, I think He puts you on the fast-track to healing.
