Some thoughts

I suppose I must be in a writing mood as I continue to write and think through the day. Being back at KBC for the last couple of weeks has not been the easiest weeks of my life. Extreme culture change, and then the itching for the culture I have known for the my whole life - America. England is not that different, but it is somewhat different and I am looking to be in that culture. The last week we have had a chance to reflect upon all that God has been up to in our lives over the last month. I have seen Him be so consistent in speaking into situations on the trip, in prayer since then and in insight from the Word. When God speaks I have seen that He opens doors as well, this is incredibly comforting and scary all at the same time. Our goal is to live full on for God for the whole of life, where and what that looks like has not been revealed as of yet. I am seeing life much like a wooded path and I'm holding a small flashlight that gives enough to go on, but not really enough to see everything that is coming up. I suppose I don't see all that could be too scary and to cause me to want to turn around, so God's plan is better isn't it? I don't see this path as an inadequate path, sure they might be logs that have fallen across, maybe some muddy patches, the occasional hole or wet spot that has to be navigated through. Does that mean that the path is not then traveled? While dark the God given flashlight of the Holy Spirit does lend illumination into where to walk, how to tread and what to watch out for. So I guess you would say that we are on that path, the path doesn't end either, and I don't expect that it gets any easier or less difficult to navigate. We'll keep walking, hiking if you will, much like our trip we'll keep on going, and learn from the journey not just the finish line. Thanks for listening as I get some thoughts on paper, you happened to join in my thoughts this time. later
