Have you ever played the game Minesweeper? If you haven't, click the Minesweeper pic to give it a try.
The goal is to uncover (left-click) all the spaces without mines but using basic math skills to locate and flag (right-click) the spaces with mines. If you uncover a space that has a mine the game is over. If you uncover all the spaces without uncovering a mine, you win!

My favorite part of this game is when you uncover a space and WHOOSH... a whole bunch of non-mine spaces open up. Sometimes I would even restart the game if I didn't get a good whoosh-effect.
I've been in a season of whoosh-ness lately. Nothing over the top; God has just seen fit to allow me to uncover a few spaces that have had fantastic whoosh-quotients. I am learning the coolest repeatable experience in this planetary life is uncovering new spaces of my personhood. Sure, there can be some fear when uncovering new spaces because the potential of a mine lying in wait is very real. But... when I uncover a space because I've done the spiritual math in faith and then WHOOSH happens, it is absolutely exhilarating.
God created us in such cool ways and we get to experience all that coolness "click-by-click" as we uncover new spaces within our selves. Settle into the reality of God's complete work in you and that "working out our own salvation" (though it may be with fear and trembling at times) is an exhilarating journey of discovering who we are in Christ as we learn more of who He is in us.
There are so many gifts
Still unopened from your birthday,
There are so many hand-crafted presents
That have been sent to you by God.
There are so many hand-crafted presents
That have been sent to you by God.
The Beloved does not mind repeating,
"Everything I have is also yours."
