This may be my last post for a few weeks, heading out tomorrow night for AL and internet connection is not guaranteed at the site where I will be staying- I may be able to find something on the weekends. So to all who are interested enough to read this, take care. I do have a thought I want to share before I go...
And that is this - life moves on. As time advances so does life, we are bound to this process as long as we are bound to these physical bodies God put us in. Moments pass whether we take the opportunity or take it for granted. And what I'm starting to think is that there isn't a "right" path to life. No series of steps which I need to focus on, nor get back on when I fail to follow. It's about each moment, and the right choices and wrong choices that each allows. And the rightness of each choice depends on where you want to be - or Who you want to serve. I struggle with my goals - check my post on July 20 - I have goals, I want to be somewhere, but sometimes where I want to be isn't a healthy/ God honoring place at all. I haven't followed any "right" path, and I'm feeling like I left the good in a lot of moments, and opted to take the destructive instead. I left a lot behind that was good, that was healthy, that was God honoring, that I would give anything for now, and yet life moves on, so I can't. I can only move on and maybe have another chance to make the right choice - towards the right goal. I'm hoping that I'll find what I want in the future. I guess I'm talking to myself too, but sometimes it's best just to forget what is left behind and focus on what's ahead. Otherwise we'll be missing the good in the moments that pass by us unawares; good that we'll see too late, and good that will be left behind - again. It's hard to drive looking backwards.
So to all of you - Stop looking back, turn around. Please.
- until next time

Metanoia-- the Greek word for repentence which means to make a conscious decison to reorient/change your life in a way that your whole being-- body, mind, and soul-- moves in a new direction. Praying you experience the peace and light of God on your journey!
I like that word
