"Dusty Feet" Our Summer Journey... Entry #10

Lord, is that singing we hear?  It’s faint, but someone is singing.  Hey, it’s coming from us!   There is music rising up from the inside of us. When did that happen? Somewhere between the complaining and the praying and the waiting, You put a new song in our hearts…a new heart attitude.

It’s not that we have any more answers or direction, and we still don’t know where we’re headed …but…singing beats complaining. It’s much more pleasant to listen to. Even if we aren’t singing on key…we just need to keep on singing.

 Even though the road is still dusty and the journey still seems long and the new places are still unknown…we’re going to sing our way down this dusty road.

And if we lapse into complaining Lord …get the duct tape.

“Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

Sing to the Lord, praise His name…for great is the Lord

and most worthy of praise.”

Psalm 96: 1, 2a, 4a NIV

"Dusty Feet" Our Summer Journey... Entry #9

“I will lead you and guide you and not let you fall by the wayside.”

It’s been a while since our last blog.

 No, we didn’t give up and take another road.

We’ve been going over some rough terrain.

We’ve had to stop and rest for a while.

Dump the sand out of our shoes, dust off our feet, nurse our stubbed toes.

Those rocks and hills can be rough.

Lord, we admit that want to run ahead of You, and when we do we catch a glimpse of a mountain in our way.   We admit that we allow frustration to set in as we become discouraged with the pace of this journey and the road conditions.

But as we find rest in Your promises and wait on You and Your timing…we find that the mountain… was just a speed bump.

We just need to slow down and take our time…one dusty step at a time.
