desperately praying this prayer
"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you and I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road although I may
know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death, I will not fear, for you are ever with me and you will never leave me to face my perils alone." ~Thomas Merton~
Wow. What a prayer. Oh so scary and oh so true right now. I think the "Nor do I really know myself" is the roughest at the moment... if I knew what I wanted, I would just do it, but I don't. Sigh. More on this another day. Right now I am battling a nasty head cold, so what I want is good sleep in a nice warm bed.
