wondering
sometimes
a
challenge in her message
the
words in worship
to
an older generation but
I
wonder about the steps I take
upon
my journey, my path
whether
I follow God’s call
or
one I fabricate
I
need to pause
to
stop, to listen
to
ask a hard question
in
silence, in prayer
how
much is my path
how
much is God’s path
what
God would have me do
with
my gifts and talents
do
I listen, do I stop
do
I remain silent
not
watching the clock
moving
on to the next thing
am
I afraid, in the dark,
not
wanting the answer
to
hear God say I am selfish
that
I am following the flesh
how
much is my path
and
how much is God’s path
how
much is for my good
for
my life, for the kingdom
am
I being faithful, am I quiet,
am
I being a servant. . .
how
much do I follow
God’s
plan for my life

“Sow righteousness for
yourselves,
reap the fruit of unfailing
love,
and break up your unplowed
ground;
for it is time to seek the
LORD,
until he comes and showers his
righteousness on you.”
Hosea 6:3
“Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge
him.
As surely as the sun rises, he
will appear;
he will come to us like the
winter rains,
like the spring rains that
water the earth."
