Well... here I sit at Fontana Dam 164 miles from Springer Mountain. It's been raining all day and actually for the last few days... and so we are hanging out at a hotel here for the night. It's supposed to keep raining for the next few days, but we are heading out into the Smoky Mountains tomorrow no matter what. Crazy times.
I would like to tell you that I have had some great epiphany in the last few days. My friend Faye asked me what God has been teaching me about and leading me to in the last few days... and I didn't have any big things to tell her... I feel like I am walking and walking... and in the process maybe not learning anything earth shattering... except how to be at peace. Peaceful is where I am today... feeling the peace of being in motion and having a goal that is only for me... I don't fell overwhelmed, I don't feel swamped... I am just in the essence of BEING. And it is BEAUTIFUL.
So what is the sabbatical journey teaching me today? It is teaching me that peace comes easily when there aren't things to overwhelm me... and that as I head back into my real life in a month or so, I need to be careful not to be overwhelmed... I need to choose to be peaceful.
A journey.
