The Journey

C.S. Lewis once said that our ideas for the day, our daily routines, are our plans, our will; but the interruptions to those routines are God’s plans and His will.  We can react one of two ways, with resentment and avoidance, or with obedience and service.  I know that I often choose the resentment and avoidance.  I also know that choosing obedience and service are never disappointing.  They only lead to fulfillment, to a sense of purpose.  Why is it, then, that we often spend our lives avoiding and fearing difficult circumstances and situations?  It is these times God uses to facilitate learning and growing.  This is what life is, this is the journey, this is the process.
