Where Am I Going?

I have to admit, there are times when I have no idea!

Have you ever felt that way or am I the only one?

I mean, I do know that ultimately, I am going to go to heaven one day.

But where am I actually heading on my day to day journey?

There are days when I feel like I'm traveling in the fast lane—not by my lifestyle...

...but like life is just passing by so quickly.

Or sometimes it seems like I'm headed down a one-way street,

not being able to get to where I need to be.

What is the reason for this out-of-nowhere, random question?

I will blame it on my new phone.

Yes, my peeps...I have actually joined the ranks and gotten an iphone!

I know, I know...it's about time I got with the program, right?

My dumb little phone has done me well all these years, but it was time.

And what have I been lusting longing for most after seeing many of YOU using it?

The Waterlogue App.

So I was going through some of the many photos I've taken so far

 and decided to give this random shot that I took on my way to work one morning

the Waterlogue treatment.

Oh my...

That road seemed to take on a whole new meaning and I just couldn't stop looking at it.

I'm not really sure why, but it had a way of making me take stock of my life.

Some days I might feel like I've pretty much got it all together,

but there are just as many days I know, unequivocally, that I do NOT!

I look at that road and it reminds me that I should be farther along on my journey.

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 

"This is the way; walk in it."

Isaiah 30:21

Thank you, Lord, for your holy spirit that convicts us me...not condemns me...

...but shows me what is it that I need to do—the things that I do have control over,

to make a difference in the lives of those that I come in contact with.

So...I fret a little and pray a lot.

 But here's what I do know...

...after God...

 I may not always know where I am going 

but I do recognize when I have been lagging behind.

I am thankful for the holy spirit's conviction and for the sweet grace of my Savior. 

I came across this poem that kind of puts it all into perspective,

Life is a Journey

~unknown

Life is but a stopping place,
a pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,
different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place,
far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
for some the journey's slow.

And when the journey finally ends,
we'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
together with the Lord.

So yes, I've been having some fun playing with my new iphone...
...and isn't it just like God to use technology to get His message across?!

I follow Jesus so I shall not walk in darkness, but I have the light of life.
John 8:12
