Life's Journeys

This past Saturday Bill and I spent our day devoted to a Planning Retreat for our church’s Married Committee. This is an annual event designated for vision casting and a time of renewal. This year’s 2009 theme for the church is “Redeeming the Time”. How appropriate since time is forever moving forward and what seems at a faster pace now. We need to make the very most of it. Lord, help us redeem the time we have lost or wasted foolishly.

During our Planning Retreat, we had the opportunity to share one of our own life journeys with the Lord. How it has affected our lives and what we have learned from it. I shared my own and Bill his. It was moving to listen to those sitting around the room --- each of us has a story to tell. These different life journeys make us into the person we are and are becoming.

I read something today in the life of David and these words leaped out at me. I wanted to share.

“You’ll never know that Jesus is all you need
until Jesus is all you have.”
