A lonely road

It's difficult to describe the feelings and thoughts around the announcement of my resignation at work. For myself it wasn't 'major' since I've been walking this path towards the decision for a very long time.I have written it all down , so as to remind me why and how I got here. What I can say is : It's a very lonely road ! It's not understandable to people if you say to them that God has given you not much choice and that you believe you'll be hit by lightning if you don't get on with obedience in the matter.

...What can I do with you, Judah ?
Your love is like the morning mist,
like the dew that disappears.Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets, I killed you with the words of my mouth; my judgements flashed like lightning upon you........Hosea 6

Today I fasted, seeking the Lord 's guidance for Manlief and myself regarding the application of godly wisdom in decisions around the investment of my pension/provident fund pay-out. It's a matter of Faith, no one person can tell you what is the best thing to do for the future. I Have to trust the Lord to lead us to making the best decisions.Only He knows what is waiting for us around the next corner of life.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9

So, I am on this road, step by step. Mostly I walk alone, with only Manlief next to me.We walk like Emmaus Pilgrims, having our ears pricked for the truth and listening with the heart .We trust our Guide,even if He is not always visable to us in the heat of difficult decisions,cross-roads and choices to be made.

...Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?....Luke 24:32
