Life’s travel plans don’t always send us down paved paths through flowering meadows.

I often find my trip has brought me into a sweeping frontier thick with briars and brambles.

Gazing ahead, swallowing hard, I doubt I’m prepared to venture into rough terrain.

And I realize I am not.

Not alone.

I yearn for Someone who’s traversed this land.

One who’s seasoned and skilled.

Let me assure you, it is better for you that I go away.

I say this because when I go away I will send the Helper to you.

But if I did not go, the Helper would not come.  (John 16:7)

But when the Spirit of truth comes,

He will lead you into all truth.

He will not speak His own words.

He will speak only what He hears and

He will tell you what will happen in the future. (John 16:13)

Our Guide.  One to lead us into all truth.

Following Him into the unknown because He does know.

God’s Holy Spirit.

The original King of the wild frontier.

Thank you, Caleb, for reminding this mom of yours to depend fully on the One who can be fully trusted to lead our family in this adventure.

Walking by faith into a place we cannot see.
