Each of us stands at the gate of tomorrow, facing the
future. At times we have walked in wonder and awe, at other times, we have
moved along in the flood of fear.
Looking back, we may recognize that amid the joys and the struggles of
this journey, we have been companioned by a grace-full Presence that has held
us together and led us on. This is not simply a journey through a string of
days and years. Rather, this is a sacred journey, one that is held in and
surrounded by Mystery. Although we long for someone to translate the risks of
this journey into logical explanation, we often find ourselves in the foreign
land of faith. We stand on the edge of our hopes and dreams and ask in trust to
be led and supported by a Love and Energy much larger than we can imagine. We
ask to walk here in courage and integrity, as we attempt to discern the voice
of God amid the cacophony of our doubt and fear . . .
To risk the journey and face the future is simply to walk
in faith, for there are no linear words that capture the massive Mystery of God. We stand . . . clothed in grace
and showered with blessing
. . . both in our knowing and in our unknowing, we are escorted into tomorrow
by Love, who gives us everything we need.
