A Bewildering Thicket

"We must be willing to to get rid of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." - Joseph Campbell

So here I am, at the end of another day.

Lost in a bewildering thicket.

I'm not sure why the excitement I had for this project was so incredible in the beginning, and how I am now so complacent.

That's how it is with Christianity in general, I suppose.

We are energized in the beginning, but lose our fervor as the weeks slip by.

You all know why, don't you?

So God can give us the learning experience of FAITH.

Without faith, we lose interest in our projects or our religion, and give up.

Exactly what Satan has in mind.

But God still beckons us to have faith in Him, and to trust in His existence.

Why he puts up with our childish fickleness, I have no idea.

Aren't you glad He is so patient? I know I am!

So today, I held the door for an old man.

He was grateful.

Sad to say, I was still despondent.

And still am a bit.

But I still refuse to believe that God gave me an idea such as this to leave me in a place such as this.

I know that incredible experiences will come, and I will gladly wait.

I never get tired of holding doors.
