Secrets

Shhh....Don't tell...

I have a secret.

And I am not telling.


But! It is Wednesday, and because it is Wednesday, I have decided to let you in on a (different) secret in my life. I am addicted to blogs. Sadly, it is pathetic.

I just can't get enough of the wit and humor of blog.cjanerun.com.

Or the touching and often times romantic story of cjane's sister at nieniedialogues.com

Then there is the party/design blog of Jordan Ferney.

I could go on and on. But I won't. But check them out. You will fall in love with their words, images, and stories.

Or perhaps run the other direction and protect yourself from scouring the pages of delight, in turn consuming all of your free time. (I have a LOT of free time on my hands at work...hence the reason I can't really run away.)

Run. Far.

However, would you like to know my (other) secret from above?

Too bad. Perhaps another day.

The GPS...

Writing makes me feel better. Mucho better. Somehow, it helps to release everything that I am feeling. I am not sure if I am happy to have some of those feelings captured down in ink, but wow...does it feel good to get it out. Sometimes, I am not sure how to release emotion...but words somehow help with that. No worries...all my craziness will NOT be revealed in this blog, for I have hidden it away in my journal. So, if you are mighty curious to know what is going on in my life, I encourage you to try to capture my journal and steal a look inside. But really, I don't encourage you to do that. I would be very, very angry. It isn't often that I get super upset, so I what I really want to encourage you to NOT do is to bring out the inner demon in me. It is not pretty. Not one bit.

That was all a bit of an intro to this post, titled "THE GPS OF DOOM!" Ok, not of doom. More like hope. Or of the future. Much more optimistic words. I had this realization the other day at church, that life is like a GPS. Nice, right? I mean, many times in our life, we have this destination...this goal...this dream. So we embark on our journey. But often times, we get lost on the way. Luckily, Heavenly Father is patient with us and says, "Please make a U-Turn as soon as possible." Sometimes we make that U-turn. Sometimes we don't. But he always is there, reminding us kindly, to make a U-Turn. Even if we have strayed far from the destination...or even the starting point. Sometimes, at this point, He reroutes our path, and if we but listen and rely on Him, we still make it to the destination.

I am on that path. I am trying to reach these goals, these dreams of mine. I hope I haven't made a wrong turn. I hope that I have the volume on my GPS up on high. I hope, that even if I make a wrong turn, He will bring me back onto the path. Life is quite the adventure, but man, would I be lost without my GPS.
