I am humbly reminded that no matter what storms threaten, no matter what waves force me to swallow salty water, the sun still steadfastly sets…different, every single time,
Never in vain and never the same….
(And I just couldn’t resist the rest of the periphery, life doing its thing as the universe does its thing: )
These images were only possibly by a complete whim, upon resisting my better judgment to stay within the lines of my schedule today, as I hit the pause button on the demands of daily life.
They came from a guttural force, a sharp turn of the steering wheel and will, and by following my soul toward the Glory.
And look – just look! what was there waiting, there, literally around the corner, to be enjoyed!
What will YOU discover if you pause to break from YOUR routine?
Is it safer (“easier”) to stay your course, or will diverting yield even greater returns, risk that it may seem?
Will you steer straight on the course you believe He has for you, or take a chance that big ol’ God may be outside the box you created, on a totally different course than l’il ol’ you ever envisioned?
Gorgeous. Way to edify us.
Thank you, PIF…edification is His goal, glory be to Him and His sunsets!

Routines are always fighting whims.
Thanks for the reminder!
You’re welcome, SR.
Routines, schmoutines…no such thing when one has the word “therapist” as part of one’s title, eh?

Awesome and uplifting photos. Yes, I do have a schedule because I do many things every day but schedules are always broken and I get sidetracked.
I notice God broke His schedules, too, based on our sidetrackings! Fodder for another post. I always like to keep a schedule, but flexibility goes a long way thanks to sidetracks. Just when I think I’m in control, He shows me otherwise. Thanks, Ms. Tess, for your input…

As always, you manage to say the right things. I like safe. I like stability, but it’s okay to change it up a bit, right? Even if the journey gets a little rocky, the Guy upstairs has me in the palm of his hand. I gotta keep remembering that.
Right. Yes, it’s okay. He just may be the force guiding you over the rocks. And even if we veer too far, He’ll make good out of it anyway. He’s just like that. All we have to do is trust and maintain discipline, He’ll do the rest. Thank you for your lovely comment, LT.
