"Lord, Have Mercy" that's my prayer. As I embark on this "September Journey", I look at roads that are familiar to me, roads that are unfamiliar and roads with which I need to reacquaint myself. Life has a way of changing on us, usually at the time we least expect it.
I had an experience recently in which I was challenged to confront one of my biggest fears. I approached it with some anxiety, some fear, but in the end, with relief. The experience changed me. My stubbornness and hard-heartedness began chipping away. I was forced by circumstance to let go of my own pettiness and do what was necessary.
Here's my confession: I had played the day over and over in my mind for eight years, and the reality of the situation was nothing like the movie in my mind. A chapter closed. A door has been opened. The remainder of the story has yet to be written. I believe the story will eventually have a happy ending. This is not the ending I anticipated in the story a month ago, but as events progressed, it has become evident that the ending must adapt. With courage I will look at the roads ahead of me. Walking down the road certainly isn't going to be easy, but as I prayerfully move forward, I know that things will happen as they are to happen. And so, I pray...
Kyrie Elision, down the road that I must travel.
Kyrie Elision, through the darkness of the night.
