When You Can't See Ahead
from Around the Fire Hosted by Gene Maynard
Yesterday's snowstorm became an unexpected spiritual director. As I walked through heavy snow with visibility down to almost nothing, I couldn't see the mountains I know are right in front of me. And in that moment of forced present-ness, I realized how much of my life I've spent living in the future—planning, strategizing, mapping out what's ahead. But what if seasons of limited visibility aren't obstacles to navigate around, but invitations to see differently? What if not being able to see far ahead actually helps us see more clearly what's right in front of us? Join me for a brief reflection on the gift of living one faithful step at a time.
