The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together.
The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road.
The life-maps of God are right, showing the way to joy.
The directions of God are plain and easy on the eyes.
Psalm 19: 7-8
Journeying through life can have it ups and downs. I think my life is testimony to this, but it's the journey that makes us the person who God wants us to be. Thesе ups and down or Гòре – дòлу (аs I'm learning in Bulgarian) shape us and help us to listen closely to the direction God is sending us in. As The psalmist says above God pulls our lives together and signs the way to go.
As I reflect on the journey I have been taking over the last few years I keep thinking back to a river near where I live and the stepping stones that cross it. This picture (above) describes the journey I am on. Its the type of crossing that you put on foot out on to the stone, then the next foot, then you just take a minute to steady yourself before moving on. Its an exciting journey and I can feel God's presence with me all the way, a bit like those footprints in the sand. I know if I wobble or slip God will be there to stop me falling in or he may just let me fall in and pick me up again.
Thank you for taking the time to journey with and join in this exciting adventure of following God. I will try to post regularly about the preparations for my trip abroad and let you know my progress. Along the way I will also share how God took me to this point in my life preparing me to be a mission corp volunteer in Bulgaria amongst Roma (gypsy) people.
Please take a look at the movie I have put together about my trip. Please keep me in your prayers and if you would like to sponsor me please contact me.
