Why Am I Here?

Not really sure about that.  Just thought i would try this to see what it is like. 

First, life is a journey.  Good and Bad Things happen in that journey.  We love to savor the good and go around the bad.  However, we can't go over or under or around the bad times.  We have to go through them just like we go through the good times.  The Journey is all about what we make of those good and bad times along the way.  

God is on that Journey with us.  He is guiding us when we let him.  He is watching over us when we turn away and forsake his guidance.  When he seems the fartherest away, he is really right there waiting for us to turn back to him. 

He gave us this journey.  He expects us to make the best of it, where ever it leads us.  That is the least we can do.  Not because we are afraid of him.  Not because we feel threatened by his presence.  It is because we have been blessed by him and saved by grace through the death of his Holy Son.

Does he want us to make this journey with no risks taken and no questions asked? I don;t think so.  I believe that God wants us to question.   He did not make us to be a puppet on a string.  He gave us free will.  Free will that sometimes leads us down the wrong road and then to our knees. But when we are on our knees, we are closer to him. 

So I guess that is why I am here. To share the journey!
