So I have not updated my blog for quite some time. You might say I have had blogger's block but I don't really believe that to be the case. I think a better way to describe my lack of blogging as of late would be blogger's blindness.
I used to drive to California several times a week for work and couple times I would drive about 200 or so miles to San Diego or almost 300 to Riverside County from where I live here in sunny Yuma Az. Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to serve as counselor for two weeks of youth camp. On the first week I didn't drive so I took the role of passenger. I was surprised because there were parts of the drive that I had not noticed before even though I had taken this route hundreds of times. Curvature of the road, mountain scenes, beautifully placed sand dunes and tree lines quietly garnered my attention almost saying "we've been here all along hoping you would notice us."
This got me thinking about how I had been so focused on my destination that I failed to grasp the beauty of the journey. If we are so focused on the destination we miss everything along the way. A heart friend recently asked me if I am so focused on being as good as I once was; while trying to become who I am supposed to be; how could I possibly focus on now? My question for you is are you the driver in your journey so focused on the destination that you miss the beauty and blessing a long the way? Or, do you let God be the driver so that you can marvel at all He does in, through, and around you.
Proverbs 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths."
I pray that the Lord will remove my blogger blindness so I can see Him moving and capture it here on Light the Dark. I pray that the readers of this will let God be the driver and in doing so, realize like I did, the beauty of this journey.
Go Ahead, I dare you, Light the Dark!
