I get it. I fully relate to your picture. What comes to my mind is that every seeming 'crisis' in my life, which looks like an end, has turned out to be a new beginning. The words that come to mind are ... 'many are the plans of a man's (and hopefully woman's) life, but the Lord directs his (her) path.
AS I pray for my way ahead, I'll sneak in some prayers for you too. May you have favour and good success.
Your journey is really relatable. Thanks ...a 'stack'
I appreciate any prayers that you've snuck in! And, yes, I hope that may of the winding paths are the beginnings of new adventures, rather than a sign that I'm lost in the bush... (great pun, by the way)
"It’s also important to know that I’ve have a history of whining about walks." I can so relate, Jeremy! As the youngest and smallest family member I would get so frustrated when my parents and brother would end up ahead of me on every walk. I'd get more and more disheartened and get even slower, and eventually the others would stop and wait for me to catch up. And once I HAD caught up, well, they'd set off again! So unreasonable!
I still lag behind, because I find things so interesting. I want to stop and look at things, listen to things, engage with things. I want to watch the ants being busy on their ant hill in the woods; I want to stop and listen to the wind in the trees, chuck pebbles into the sea and read every sign pasted up in a corner-shop window.
Well done for finishing your German course, and I wish you all the best for your exam! Regarding the run-up to October: well, one step at a time. You'll get there, I know it.
I would play that very same catch up game with my dad whenever I joined him on a walk with our dog, and it frustrated me to no end! Thank you for your vote of confidence, and you're right about October—it's how I got through all the longer-than-imagined walks, too: one step at a time.
