Railroad tracks.

Where do they go

and

from where did they come?

They are a well-defined path

for the train to stay on course.

Recently I felt that God-Nudge

to step out and do something undefined.

I responded to the nudge with a

"Yes, Lord, of course I will go..."

...until the night before the event when all kinds

of excuses to cancel, to back out

seemed justified.  And then He spoke again

"Many have not walked

in the fullness of their destiny

because of fear"

I was looking for a straight path

I was looking for the well-defined way

and fear was keeping me from stepping out

I packed my suitcase out of obedience

after hearing that Nudge Word.

With a renewed confidence I fulfilled

the God Nudge and went to the event.

Pursuing the fullness of my destiny may be a

plowed path full of bumps and ruts

or it may be smooth like train tracks.

But fear should never be something that stops

me in my tracks.

Lord, God, it is Your path that I pursue.

Thank you for loving me and for the Nudge.

Thank you for walking with me on whatever

path You take me on.
