CHAPTER X
One summer I participated in a
float trip down the Current River in central Missouri. A float trip is
when you paddle in a canoe over oftentimes rapid filled rivers. It is
definitely exciting. At certain points as you travel down the river, as
you turn the next bend, you are greeted by fellow travelers who have already
landed with their canoes for a little rest on a sand bar. It is a time of
relaxing, swapping stories of the great adventure, and gathering courage to step
back into your canoe to take the next leg of the journey. Finally, with a
increasingly rapid beating heart, you shove off in your canoe. This book
was meant to be like your sand bar. Before you set off for the next step in your
journey, prepare to discover the excitement God has in store for you even if
there is some risk. Yet remember too, you can always stop at another sand
bar down river to re-focus again in the context of your spiritual name, your
experience of God, your spiritual identity, your relationship with God and your
calling with your spiritual profile and life planner so you can set your ship,
your life, in the direction of God's blessing for you. I hope to see you
down river.
