Thinking
I've spent many days thinking about what the future holds for me. I think about my family, my friends, my education and my career. I know that God has a perfect plan for my life...but life in the desert leaves you dehydrated and thirsty. My heart longs to be thirsty for the living water, but I seem to be choosing other sources to quench that ever present thirst. Winter is so dry. You would think with snow as deep as six inches or more that water would be abundant. Not so! You must first heat the snow so that it melts from the near frozen state to a liquid state. Much the same way snow is heated to make water, our lives are heated to purify, heal and build. Should I run or go slowly. In the desert, without water, running could be dangerous. But the more slowly that I travel the deeper the burn. A good friend warned me just a few days ago to "Go Slow....just slow down". She has been watching me for twenty years, I think she has some wisdom that I should take to heart. But this desert is so, so very HOT!

Great blog!! I think we can all relate to what you wrote here. Life always will have its ups and its downs, some mountains are steeper than others and the valley can be oh so low. Your friend is correct when telling you to go slow sometimes we can miss what is right in front of us when we hurry through things. Going slow and taking the time to just breath can clear the mind to see the path. When I face the heat or the rough roads I remember Psalms 143 I read it daily when going through my divorce several years back and then I also remember the phase "This too shall pass" but also remember sometimes we face things in life, that are life lessons for us to learn so that we may help someone else when they are faced with the same path. Blessing to you!
