I embrace gracious uncertainty. I wait with breathless anticipation to see what you have for me today. Gathering the necessities and dressing myself appropriately, I embark on the greatest adventure of my life. The only expectation I have is gaining hold of what you have promised, namely, yourself. I find great freedom in this for as I expect only you, I am never disappointed. You graciously bring opportunities into my path, not haphazardly but each for a purpose and reason, some never to be discovered, but I trust that you do not act flippantly. You delight me with surprises you know will make my heart flutter, and smiling, I press into you further, my faithful companion, to see where you will lead me next. You are my only guide as I traverse what would seem to some to be a treacherous wilderness, uncertainty and danger lurking in the shadows at every bend. However, you have earned my trust thus far as you have not yet let me down. I pack lightly knowing that at any moment you might ask me to change course, and although my flesh sometimes resists change and desires a map of where we are going next, I recall the offerings of plans, agendas, and my own will that you required I sacrificed to you before we departed. I turn and see that all that is left from the altar marking the beginning of the journey is the smoke that remains from these offerings.
Wide eyed and amazed, I am continually experiencing firsthand the things I have only heard about you. Restlessness sighs before vanishing, unsteady steps are strengthened and transform into unwavering strides, and timidity diminishes as boldness increases. I close my eyes thinking it is a dream, but when I open them and find myself locked in your gaze, I know that this is reality and all else is imitation. I no longer have concern for others’ opinions of this wild, untamed, rugged existence I have chosen but yearn instead to hear your praise. I fall in line with you, Master, trekking into the unknown on the heels of the one I know and adore.
