30 day journey journal- prompt 3: unknown

This page is part of a 30 day journal, but I'm taking my time and not pressurising myself to do each prompt in a day. I guess for me it will be a 30 prompt journal instead, but that's okay.

This 3rd prompt is: Unknown. "It may be that when we no longer now what to do, we have come to our real work, and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey."  Wendell Berry.

When I come to the end of myself, then I can truly listen. When I come to the end of all my own ideas, maybe I'll hear what I'm really supposed to do. I can have a hundred ideas and leap at them all, but until I can take a leap into the unknown, trusting that God has it all in hand, I haven't really begun the journey at all.

30 day journal - journey

Lisa Sonora does 30 days of journal prompts on a regular basis. This time the subject is 'Journey'. This seemed particularly appropriate for me at this time. Although the idea is to do a prompt a day, as I have other things on the go at the moment, I am saving the prompts and working through them at my own pace.

This is the first one - Journey. "There is only one journey. Going inside yourself." Rainer Maria Rilke.

What does 'going inside yourself' look like? To me this speaks of a journey to the heart. What is my heart like? "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." (Matthew 12:34) I am blessed to be fed by inspiration, grace, and love which I hope will cause lifelong growth. Is that what flows out of me? I don't want a stale heart that is hard and stagnant. I am called to be fruitful on this journey called life, so what direction will the next leg take me in?

This could be an interesting journal...
