Today's Journey


My journey today will consist of fellowship, new beginnings, and hope. I will have brunch with a friend and we will draw strength from the fellowship. We miss that in our journeys. Thank you God for reminding me of how important it is for that one on one time.

My journey will then take me to a new place filled with possibilities and new beginnings. A place where others will gather. A place where we will worship. A new beginning for so many. A new place. A new journey. Thank you God for a place to call home.

My journey will then take me to an evening of promise and hope. A safe place to share my deepest hurt or to share my praises of the Most Holy One. A place where everyone has their own journey in wanting to move forward in healing. A safe journey. A good journey.

May your journey take you to a place you need to be. A place you want to be. A place where God is with you all the way. A special place. Today's journey.

Does Your Journey Feel Like A Wreck?


What can I say about my Journey?

Do you ever have those moments when everything about your journey seems to be cluttered - stacked up like a huge 50 car wreck on the interstate? When that happens it certainly is difficult to find God in the details. Sorting through the wreckage takes work! It is time consuming! Who wants to! Sitting back and looking at that may overwhelm us as we try to find something good in it all. And so I sit . . . I don't know what to do so that is what I often tend to do. I sometimes ask myself the question, "Do I have any strength to sort through such a mess?"

I am reminded that someone once told me, "It's not a mess." Do I have the confidence that my Great Lord is still in control? Could it be that what I am looking at that appears to be a big mess really isn't?

It takes me throwing up my hands and saying, "Alright God! This is your stuff - you sort through it." The hard part is walking away and allowing God to do just that. He smiles . . . He chuckles . . . because he knows the big plan and I don't. It is hard to not have control isn't it? (lol)

So . . .what can I say about my journey I might ask?
That . . .

God has control and I have none . . .


God knows what is going on and I have no clue. . .


God is teaching and I am trying to learn . . .


God is bigger than this world and I am but a speck . . .


God is God . . .I am not.
