"As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it"
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery

How convenient it would be to have all the answers...and how uneventful life would be. Life can be bittersweet, and it throws you curve balls, it can be adventurous, and it can be mediocre, it can be survived, or it can be fulfilled. People are inconsistent and one thing remains. There is one constant, one thing in which we all all orbit. The Son of God has proved himself over and over to man, and yet we still flurry about in a wild chase around the only steady place in all creation.
In all my meandering I have found myself returning to the calm, centered, and understanding place before God. He must be my only comparison, my only judge, my only justice, He must be what I reflect, or I will reflect something else. In this quiet place I often find myself realizing the blueprint in which I wanted so badly to know would make me miserable. I also often realize God speaks to me in the way I would best hear it.
So, from here, I will pick up myself up from the bootstraps, and follow in the dust of my teacher. I will not know where it is I will go, but I will go. I will not let fear hinder where I go, or what I do. I will take in all He has given me to prepare me for this journey. I will let the prophets and soothsayers return to their crystal balls, I will leave the critical remarks to sit in the laps of those who make them, and focus my attention on God alone, instead of the water.
Thank you for placing the people in my life I will need most, and making this your story, instead of mine. Also, thank you for music, for giving me something to dance along to behind you :)
