A different kind of journey -- the one we are all on...

Many, most, or maybe all 7 of you that actually read this, probably started reading this because you wanted to follow me across the country and live vicariously as I encountered new cities, states, and sometimes even countries...BUT hopefully you will stick with me on this as I embrace & examine another journey that I'd like to share...One we are ALL on...The journey called LIFE!!!

While I surely hope that I will never be finished with my physical travels & this blog may occasionally divert back to sharing experiences of different places I encounter, at least for now I am planning to use it as a place to share different thoughts I encounter as I learn to trust God more, hear His voice & see and appreciate the beautiful views and vistas of life he presents in my life every day if I take the time to look and listen.

I thought about starting a whole new blog for this new endeavor -- BUT, since I have a whopping 9 followers on this one I didn't want to alienate my fan base ;) -- and as I walk, run, crawl, am dragged on occasion and often even skip & hop with joy through this journey called LIFE, I frankly wonder quite often and ask my God ...WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE???

And often I take the wrong turns, but the great thing with God is that there's no sign anywhere that says I can't make a big U-Turn and change the way I'm headed... I hit a lot of speed bumps on my journey, I break some 'traffic' laws now and then, I drive through life too fast sometimes, I get horribly annoyed & impatient with other drivers & myself and occasionally I just completely wreck my life...BUT, as far from perfect as I am --( and honestly I am so far from it that even if I unfold the map of my life a couple of times I still can't find Perfect on there) -- I think God is telling me that others might learn from the 'cities of confusion,' 'the deserts of disappointment,' 'the every day avenues of joy,' and all the other stops along the way...SO, I am hoping (and beyond that I am actually really praying that as I step out in faith that this is the road God has for me to travel at this point in my life) that you will come along for the journeys AND share in the wisdom -- God's direction -- as I share some more of my 'travels.' And as the journey unfolds, I pray that you will see & experience & learn - as I am - that there is no reason for anyone to look AT me & what I do or have done...BUT to have the sincere & satisfying & matchless & meaningful journey He intends for us to experience that we all must look TO God!!!
