The Mind

I can tell that my heart and mind are trying to get into sync about this pilgimage. Each night I dream that I am in a place that I do not recognize. I am happy and peaceful, but each night by the end of the dream, I find myself getting ready to leave the place. Different dreams have different people there to remind me that it is time to leave. One night, it was Mom and Dad. I am coming to terms with the fact that as much as I hate walking and hiking, this will be the very first place the Lord will have to work in my life. Saturday I took a nice long walk all around the harbor....it was great...but it was not even 2 miles. I know that walking is difficult, not because it is physical, but because I cannot multi-task while I am doing it. This is the the dark corner of my heart and mind that will need to be luminated. Learning to just be....whatever that means.

My soul sings

Are you calling me to walk with you Lord?

Lord increase my faith.  I will follow you but I need to hear you.

My soul cries out to you, oh Lord,

It wrestles within its self to be filled with your completeness.

It searches each day for you Lord,

knowing that  you are not far,

but also knowing that the folds of my heart are not yet prepared

for the fullness and perfections of You.

Prepare me Lord

so that I may hear your call and serve you. 

This picture was posted by His Coffee Co. on Facebook.  It was the perfect visual I needed to  know that over the next year and a half, I will shape my life to walk this rickety bridge and just simply trust Jesus to prepare my body, mind and soul to know him better, love him more and to serve his people.
