so i grew up in southeast Missouri…close to the river. living close to the river, we experienced some great fog! i mean heavy fog…like the dog couldn’t walk to his water bowl cause of the fog on his back. fog so thick you couldn’t see the car in front of you until you were about to run into his bumper…you couldn’t see that you should have stopped at that red light until you went through it. i’m talking thick fog! As a kid I loved the fog cause we would get out of school for the entire day…yes, school got delayed because it was so foggy…and if it got delayed more that 2 hours then they would just cancel school for the entire day! It would be perfect weather outside after the fog cleared…we prayed for these glorious days!
now as an adult…sometimes i feel as if my life is a fog. i can’t see what’s next or which road to take until I’m right up on it…or just passed it. fog causes confusion and second-guessing. Now don’t get me wrong, life isn’t always a fog. but sometimes I wish God had email, or better yet text messaging! something where He could respond back to me a.s.a.p. i mean, there are many times when that i am not 100% sure i am making the right decision…when there might be two possible good choices or when there is just no clear choice. no one likes being “in the fog”… or so I’m assuming. i’m assuming most people like some clarity in life. fog makes things more difficult…harder…
we’ve all got plans. we all had/have an idea of how we want things (life) to turn out. does it ever happen that way? like we planned? seriously…not often. even when we do everything we are supposed to do in order to accomplish things, to plan things out…there are other factors and/or people that alter the course. that’s called life. no matter how much you rationalize things or strategically plan things out…life happens and plans sometimes fail.
but life goes on. we keep planning. we keep seeking answers…hopefully in the right places and people. we wait for the fog to lift...to see a "break" up ahead. for me personally, i have a few people i trust and respect, whom I feel are good Christian people, and I know they will pray with me and help me to make the right choices. i’m blessed like that.

You can think of me as your beacon in the fog. :)
