my nephew Chris took this photo in Japan. There is something beautifully serene about the way through. The bamboo makes a pathway through. It can be so dense that passage is not possible but here a pathway through seems possible.
Times in our lives when a pathway through may not seem possible…we look for a way. We look for ways ahead. We sometimes may need to slow down on our way. We may need to pause, to regroup, to reroute, or as my GPS says “recalculate”.
Still we try to keep on. That is why we seek to find God’s our life plan or calling.
I think we always have a calling that can shift at different times in our lives. Without a sense of purpose we can stumble or hesitate or get “stuck in the mud”
My Daddy and I would play … Stuck in the Mud.
He would you put his arms around me and ask me a question. Sometimes it was a times table or the scientific name of frogs. If I didn’t know the answer I would learn it. But there was always a way forward.
May you know the way. May you find the way. May you have someone to guide you if you get lost or turned around.
God abide
