Story of My Life

Today, it rained. The floating masses of water that have been hanging over our heads have finally let spill their contents over the earth... Rain is truly a miracle if ever I heard of one. I could sit for hours just listening to the ever-changing beat of the drops outside my window... Unfortunately, I don't have the time for such luxuries... However, on a late Friday afternoon, with nothing better to do, contemplating life is not a completely wasteful use of time. So that's what I did today. Between prayers of thanks for the amazing turn of weather, lazily reading novels, and plunking out skewed melodies on the keyboard, I found that I actually had time to take that moment of silence I was talking about in my last post of significance... I found my mind wandering around thoughts of the future and everything that it holds, both bitter and sweet. Isn't it amazing how He has something planned for each and everyone of us, more fantastic that what we could ever imagine? But no matter how many times I'm reminded of that, the fact continually slips from memory. I have to be reminded that even when we can't see where we're going and are afraid of hitting our knees in the dark, our Guide knows the path. While randomly flipping through the pages of my Bible, Proverbs 20:24 stood out from the page. It said, "The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?"... Talk about an applicable verse! Being naturally prone to worry, particularly about what is to come, learning that there is nothing I can do to change the future, no matter how much I wish I could just tweak a few things, is harder than climbing Mt. Everest, and if not for our Lord, nearly as cold a journey...........
