Pathways

One day you're going to have to walk with God when you can't understand where he's taking you. Your techniques, skill set and connections won't get you through. So don't try this on your own.~Unknown (Reader's Digest 12/07)

I had the enormous privilege of sharing my faith journey with my church family today. It was one of the hardest things I ever did, but it felt really good. I did a lot of praying and asking the Spirit to work through me in preparation. At the end, I read this quote. As I was sharing with them, we never know where God is going to take us, but he sends the amazing help of the Holy Spirit and the love and caring of His Son (not to mention a host of loved ones and friends) as we walk down life's pathways.

I think it's important to remember and respect that we all have different paths, especially with regards to timing. Some start their journeys early in life and others later, but however you look at it, it's all a part of God's plan for that individual.
