I feel like my future is filled with so many ifs and maybes. I want to know what lies ahead. I like knowing where I'm going, what will happen, what I have to do. It unnerves me when I can't see ahead.
Today as I was driving home I could see the skyline of Philadelphia for the first time in days. The weather had kept me from seeing it for over a week. It is my landmark, how I know I'm on the right highway and headed for the right bridge home.
It kinda struck me this is what I want in life. I want to be able to see my destination or at least the landmarks ahead of me. I want to see the skyline of heaven each and every day. That is what I am working for, I want to be reminded of that.
But in life there are no maps. There are no written instructions of when each things is supposed to happen. You just live it, trusting that if you rely on God, everything will work out. Its scary. Scary like a rollercoaster without any safety constraints. Scary like driving across the country with no maps or GPS. Scary like jumping out of an airplane. But that risk is part of what makes life so wonderful and beautiful, too.
Pax Christi!
