The country back road turned and twisted leading me past beautiful trees and fields. Every time I thought I could predict where the road would go, it surprised me with an unexpected bend. The meandering road would have been frustrating if I had been in a hurry, but today I was up for the journey and had nothing but time.
I began to think about all the times I passed this road. In a hurry to one thing or another, I never considered taking the unknown path. There were things to do, places to go, and appointments to keep. For years I've driven by not knowing what I was missing.
I sometimes treat my spiritual path the same way. I become so used to doing things a certain way that I don't consider other options. I feel comfortable where I am and I ignore the quiet whisper of God prompting me to take a chance.

I'm not a big fan of New Year's resolutions. But this year I think I'll go a little slower, schedule a little less, and be a little more open to an adventure. Where's God leading you?
Be blessed,
Jennifer

Amen, Sister! Me too. A little less Martha and whole lot more Mary.
