journeying

a morning writing exercise:

i am journeying to a full life in God, with God. with questions all over the place! with an unknown destination. aimlessly? i hope not. my journey has had its bumps and lumps, has not always been fun, has had its fair share of tears. my soul's journey has been to try to find God, always seeking that connection. in the words of julian of norwich, how do i "one myself to God"? it is not an easy or self-explanatory road. it has required community. my journey has been uncomfortable often. it's been hard to find the right people. i am journeying through cornfields and tomato plants and kale and collards and silence and snow and woodstoves and sweat and little boys and crayfish ponds and memories and trees and retreats and conflict and misunderstandings and new friendships and laughter and pain and joy and journals and impatience and growth. i am journeying.
