I know, I know guys its been a couple of days since my last blog but its been a very trying time for me. Went through a bout of bad days and sleepless nights. Was feeling very restless but just like Jacob felt I was telling God I won't let go till you make me right. And am feeling a lot better now, still fighting the doldrums.
So anyway today I don't have much to share just something interesting happened today late in the day. Decided to go to the grocery store to get some groceries(no prizes for guessing). On my way back I met this short white guy who greeted me and complemented me on my hat. And it seemed like this guy had something burning He wanted to say to me but he just kept quite. We walked in silence until our paths went in different directions and he said to me. "Can I offer you a piece of advice," knowing me I love to hear what people say especially perfect strangers. Then he added, "Always look up when you walk, it could drastically change your life." Weird I know, my first thoughts were, this guy maybe saw me crossing the road and a car maybe almost hit me and He's just telling me to look where I am going. But my philosophical self could not take this statement at face value. The last part of his advice "...it could drastically change your life" rang in my head for a while.
Then I started to think, how often like me crossing the road do we walk with God looking at our feet. I know it is written, 'God is a lamp unto our feet', but sometimes we get so obsessed with the steps we are taking we forget to look up to see the one who's waiting for us at the finish line. This came at such a timely moment in my life when I had become obsessed with my good days and bad days that I had forgotten to take my eyes off the road cause ultimately I'm not the one driving........ God is. I guess its easy for all of us to become engrossed in our cares, successes, failures that we fail to see the full view. Our life becomes limited by only as far as our steps take us.
So as that short man said, 'when we walk lets always look up...'
love, peace and happiness

You are so totally right there flloyd, we spend so much of our time engrossed in our failures,what matters the most and we forget the source of all those things,the healer of all those illnesses, the one with the answers to all those questions,...thanks for the wonderful reminder :)
Dude such a timely word for me as well. Also yeah learn to walk straight bud :-) Constantly we need to focus on God and really our lives will be so different! I think this was a really inspired message Tuzz! Keep churning them up and remember God is always there when you need him! Blessings
