Exploring Life

How many of us really just enjoy the journey before us. I know for myself it's not the easiest thing to do , enjoy the journey that is, especially when the road before me isn't in clear view.

This trip to Colorado was just so good on so many levels. I grew in my ability to facilitate learning in others. I grew in my walk with the Lord, and I grew on a personal level from deep with in. I know that all sounds deep... but it isn't really. I just love how sometimes the environment we live in can at times aid us in growing and maturing on so many levels. This trip to Colorado was one of those amazing times where all kinds of things came together for me.

I just enjoyed life in ways I hadn't in a long time. It was a good time of personal reflection, spiritual growth, and maturing in my skills as a facilitator of learning. I don't think I'll ever use the word TEACH again. I just learned so much about what it means to help others grow in their learning that I don't want to ever be a teacher of things but rather facilitate learning....


You know in reflection of life of Jesus - Jesus was a Facilitator of Learning. He asked good open questions- He rarely spoke without causing those He was speaking to, to reflect on what they were saying. He was a great facilitator in learning. When He spoke He caused others to want to draw near to hear what it was He was talking about and as a result caused people to ask themselves questions that made them want to know TRUTH.

It is just so cool to have crossed over from being unsure, sometimes scared, and even unwilling at times to want to continue on a journey where I'm just not sure where it is going to lead. To being okay and willing to say, Yes to whatever it is the Lord wants. I am not sure where our journey will lead us to next but this one thing I am certain of and that is where ever the road ahead leads I can rest assured that my Lord is walking before me......

It's not a path I've never walked before but it is hard to return to uncertainty when you've been blessed to know what the road ahead looks like.

I wonder if any of you are looking ahead and wondering what the road before will look like? I just challenge you to seek the Lord and to draw near to Him and realize that He is walking with you, before you and has your rear guard too. With that in mind it makes looking ahead not so scary...... :)

After all, we do walk in Faith- and for me personally, I'm learning yet again what it means to walk in Faith and trust the Lord in what He calls me to do!

Here's to exploring life!
