"God has led two lives to take one path..."

"God has led two lives to take one path..."

This appeared on our wedding invitations and has been so true throughout our marriage.  We are on a path together that is directed 100% by the Lord.  This path has taken us in some directions that we knew were coming when we got married 13 years ago, but it has also taken us down some unexpected ones. This path has been a journey.  We don't always know the destination but we do know that God will be glorified when we are obedient to go when He says "go" and to do when He says "do."

I keep being directed to and reminded of the word "journey" over recent weeks. I was reminded that the journey, the path we take to get somewhere, is in many cases just as important, if not more so, than the destination itself.  I must find joy in the journey because it is a joy based on God's sovereignty and power, and because my obedience will be for my good and His glory.

May I be reminded of these truths as we journey this year.
