C.H.O.I.C.E.S - Choosing Him Or Ignoring Christ's Eternal Salvation

Wayside Shrines

Behind my eyes there are a thousand images of the woman I wish to be.

Smouldering in my heart there are a thousand memories of the girls I have been.

I know the place I joined this road, I know the place to which I must walk

(however far with calloused heels).

I do not know where I am.

This is a road that can have no signs,

only wayside shrines.

I crawl or run to the open sanctuaries,

to reflect - to simply Be - to lay my burden down

for just a little while, and gaze along the Dusty Road to the

places I have been. Sometimes,

sometimes I dare to glimpse the horizon ahead

and imagine the places to which I am going.

Invariably I stumble onwards blindly toward a shimmering oasis

and find nothing; nothing but rocks.

Rocks are solid truths, lessons learned, but rocks are not water.

I must drown in the water of Truth and drink the answers.

I must not imagine. I must walk on.

Imagination is limiting.

It is limiting and we seek that which is unlimited.

We must seize imagination to take us to the road’s end,

to take us to the shore, then swim.

We must swim to the other side of imagination,

taking all our courage into the unknown.

Only then will we be truly receptive to the wonders beyond;

to the answers, to Ourselves.

(Not our images, but ourselves. )

Imagination leads to disappointment,

Truth is beyond imagination.

I stand in a place I dared not imagine,

I walk without crutches,

held by His Invisible Hands.

In our lives there are many metaphorical crutches

and many ways with which to limp.

I stand in a place I dared not imagine and

I am not disappointed.

I am an earthen vessel, on an unmarked road

carrying nineteen years of foolish wisdom

((Guide me Lord.))

Verse of the week:

"Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will be faithful to perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
