What Lies Ahead

What lies ahead may be the most difficult road of my journey, yet also has the potential to be the most rewarding. As Ralph Waldo Emmerson said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us."

Only God holds the key to the unknown. Though we can see glimmers and shadows of what lies ahead, the absolute is unknown. Only through hope and faith can we step forward into the unknown and have any reasonable certainty of the outcome and know that all will have gone as it should have.


Living Faith


Oft times the path is unclear

We may not know what's drawing near

But knowing all things work together

For the good and for the better

Brings a comfort deep inside

And negates tendencies to hide

So on faith we step again

Hoping that once more we can

Find the thing we need to find

Not letting our old fears blind

So that we may now receive

That in which our hearts believe

Knowing that love will outweigh

Sadness we've known in our day

And that challenges there sent

Love will help to circumvent

Hope will help to win the day

As silently within we pray
