Life's Journey
I thought I was complete.
I was comfortable with my life.
Then Linda passed, and I find I�m not as complete as I thought I was.
Stu Weber wrote in his book �Tender Warrior�, about men of today,
how they are searching for a clarity of vision, a force of direction.
And I foolishly thought, �That�s not me�.
But as I read more and gave it more thought I realized that IS me.
My life is not complete.
Oh, I have the �who am I� and the �what I do� stuff, and ultimately
I know I�m headed for eternity, to heaven.
But what I�m missing IS the clarity of vision, the force of direction.
Life is like a road trip. First you must know where you are and where you�re headed.
Then it helps to look at a map and find a route, or else your just driving blind.
You can always tell when you pass someone who has no ideal where they are going.
It�s just that obvious.
Life�s journey has many curves, speed bumps, and lane changes.
I always hate driving though a large city for the first time.
Because all of a sudden your faced with lots of traffic, on-ramps, and exits.
Signs and cars all going by, way too fast.
You have to be very careful you don�t make a wrong turn.
That�s when it helps to have a passenger, a navigator.
Someone to help read the signs, watch the traffic, and check the map now and then.
I feel that I�m missing my navigator, and my sense of direction.
I don�t know the best way to get where I�m going anymore.
I�ve been driving blindly for weeks without God�s direction.
I need to stop the car, pull over, and get out the map (Bible).
Take a look at the curve, life has thrown at me,
and decide where God wants me to go from here.
I need to spend more time in prayer and meditation
and maybe take a vacation and let God show me the course I need to take.
There is a bumper sticker out that says something like
� If God is your co-pilot then stop and change seats�.
Please be in prayer for me as I again let God lead me on LIFE'S JOURNEY.
