Travelling

I travel on life's road
Not knowing what I'll see.
Each day a new path stretches
For miles beyond me.


I could be gripped with hesitation;
Unsure of my way.
My feet could wander off the path;
To danger I could stray.

But trav'ling with my Father,
I know I will endure
For as He walks here with me
I know my path is sure.


So, it's a week until I make the long trek back to Washington. I know I will miss my friends here, but I know that I'm on the right path. It's an interesting feeling, knowing that the path you're about to embark on is the path that God wants you to go. I have seen over the past few years that this (Tulsa) is where God wanted me to be. I have grown so much in these two short years. I could be tempted to say that because I have grown so much, that God has even more in store for me here. But I feel in my soul that this path is the one God has set me on. I don't know what He has in store for me, and I'm sure that it won't be easy at all, but I look forward to what He has to teach me and how He's going to use me.

I rest in the peace of Jeremiah 29:11- " 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.' "

i will pray that you have a safe and blessed trip. this has been a favorite verse for a long time. it's so nice to know God is in control and looking out for us, no?

Thank you Georgia. I can use all the prayer I can get.

And yeah, I love that verse. When I was in my darkest hour, that verse guided me back to God again.
