A Road Less Travelled

I was at a graduation on Friday. Next to my own and my sister’s it was the best graduation I have been to. I sat and listened to the commencement speech and all I could think about was my life and my choices. The speaker spoke about dreams. She said that you need to evaluate your dreams according to what God has said. And then, if your dreams are holy, you need to walk the walk. And this will look radical. I took this and I put it next to my life. Do I think my dreams line up with what God says in His word? Yes, I do. Then I need to walk like I believe it. Does this life look radical? To some people it is unbelievable. People sometimes hint that I am freakish in my life choices. She said that a radical life will be difficult. Well, my life is plenty difficult sometimes. But then she asked the question -Is it worth it? Is it worth all your time and effort and struggles and pain. And I looked at my life and I asked that question. And the answer was yes. Yes, it is more worth it than I can express. Yes, and even if it gets harder than this it will be worth anything I must pay. Oh, may God ever keep me in this walk. Amen.
