Where is God Leading me?

Advent is a journeying time.  We move from Ordinary time in to a time that is very focused on the coming of the infant Jesus into our lives.  It may not be a physical journey but it is a spiritual journey.  I think at times it is a journey that we actively persue a goal, getting read for the Christmas we want.  We prepare our hearts, say more prayers, go to daily Mass more often, that kind of thing

I think though if we let go and we simply sit still in the darkness and listen God will lead us on the journey He wants us to go on.  The way will simply open up for us, all we have to do is go.  It takes courage and humility to go on Gods path.  It usually isn't where we ever thought we wanted to go.  It isn't as showy and you may get many fewer public acknowledgements for it.  It may be something you didn't think you could do.

Luckily God is there to guide you and to give you the energy to do it.  He doesnt abandon us.  You may never know the fruits of your actions until the day you die.  But trust in God, the journey is a lot more exciting.
