Sea borne

Writing from a happier place today, even the rain could not dampen my spirit. Happiness is a choice, true, but I learned that joy, that quiet contented spirit from the inside is truly grace.

I've been on a journey back to my self these past few days. Reading in a cafe on my own, writing pages longhand has brought me back to me. I have brought my questions to God. He has answered the questions of my heart and more. It is true what St. Augustine says, the heart does not rest until it rests in God. So easy to be distracted by things and people that keep us from our mission, enticing us with something good that keeps us from receiving God's best...So easy for a hurting heart to yield. But angels in disguise come to give us strength, reminding us to endure, to be patient, to wait on the Lord, trusting God's perfect time and ways. Let us wait for our Captain to steer the course and point us to the right direction. Let God open the door, make a way.

The waves are starting to subside now and I am beginning to see land from the distance. Still more questions, but trusting God more. I can sit back and relax, enjoy the journey, maybe catch a sun rise on the horizon...
