Destination Unknown

Why bother to consciously embark on a spiritual journey? What do I hope to achieve? Where am I heading? What do I hope it will look like when I get there? How will I know I have arrived?

I need to have a destination in focus or I will easily loose my direction. I need to hold a a clear picture of what I hope for and what I dream of. God is asking me, what do I want? What do I dream about being and doing? I have a long list of some things I hope to achieve before I die, which I will post tomorrow because it is getting late into the evening now.
We desire what God puts in our hearts in the first place. He knows, but we have to know, become aware and make it our own and be willing to put things in place to achieve our calling.

I am at a time and place where I am ready to do whatever it takes to achieve my dreams. For now they are only dreams and my destination has not manifested.

In this last week my journey has already been fraught with physical, emotional, and spiritual blocks. Things like fatigue, back pain, interruptions, wrong things and unloving things that I do and say to others, the extreme heat, eating too little, then eating too much, wasting precious money at vanity fair and precious rest time on the TV or computers!
You know the drill. The list goes on and on, daily sucking up the time and energy that we could be spending thinking about and working towards our destination, our dream life.

If my dream was to have food on the table to feed my starving children then I would cry out to God for that dream or basic need to come to me quickly.
 If I dreamed of the day, in a war torn country where bombs would stop destroying my home and killing my family, I would be very focused in my desperate prayer to God.
But instead I have the luxury of sitting under the cool shade of a tree while I contemplate all the possible ways my future could unfold to satisfy my deepest desires. And do you know the most amazing part of all this..... is that God sits right there under the tree beside me and says..."come on Janet (English Gypsy) what are you going to type up for your destination, what does it look like, I'm eager to see" He knows, but He wants me to know! To be continued....
