In this true desire to find another missing part of the picture, (that is what I see in the reflection). I know we should be ridgid in our efforts to start with prayer, but someday's I find it so much more peaceful to just end it with prayer. Which absolutely makes no flippin sense. What am I thinking (it must be my own commandment):thy shall not pray to much! No seriously what would make me box GOD into a time or a space,or reason, let alone a season of my life. When the answer is nauseating and so obvious. It is written on my forehead boldly! I do that ,I box GOD in ,I select to pray when I choose. I may as well be saying it outloud "I got this GOD,Thanks but,No Thanks.I am sure he is most disappointed in my poor attempt to see the reflection someday's.

What makes me sad, is what makes me want GOD more is always put in my view and I am obviously to lazy in my love for his plan /or as our pastor put it "our direction is our destination".

To drive it home.

You can either follow the yellow brick road or not! Just know when you tap those red heels Christ doesn't come calling, nor does he have to show you his heart, you can't only get the oil just when you feel frozen, on the road you travel. Lastly, the wicked witch"lurkes on every stop or detour you take on the trip. The key to the yellow brick road is finding your heart and realize you can remain the lion or become the lion and find your heart, being a coward in Christ is not going to take you futher on the route to love. To face your fear is to find your heart and courage is a really tough act to implement.

So pray more Sandy but understand you should know the difference between in prayer and I pray. GOD should always be summoned to direct the road, and his son JESUS CHRIST, has already paved the road. Honestly it is just that simple and Complicated is not even a street sign on the road. You can't get lost if you listen to the directions and read the map. ITS called LOVE.

Read: 2 John:12 and THE THIRD LETTER FROM JOHN: That sums up my failures and desires. I only asked myself "when will I see him face to face".

I truly believe it is at the end of my road and at the end of his direction for me.

So, I continue to read and follow. In prayer I am hooked to be looking for the love he intends for me . So, if on the road I take a detour GOD let me know how much you still care and direct me back to your destination of the crooked path for me, where the cross was laid for me and where I will alwys intersect with you.

Not even close enough! determined to be.

Sandy
