How can we be sure we are moving forward on our journey? Just because we are staying busy and doing things does not mean we are progressing. So, how do we know when we take a step backwards or sideways, instead of a step forward? And then, if fact, how do we know if that step wasn't a necessary one, anyway? We can ask ourselves, "did I learn anything "new" from this experience or was this something I have been through before and needed to be reminded of?"

If we take time to contemplate and pray, learning from God's word and voice in our heart, then we can be sure the things we are doing and experiencing are what God intends for us. Pray for God's grace and the wisdom to move forward on your journey, to serve Him for the good of all. God will teach you each step of the way.

Blessings and peace and joy to you always!
