what really matters?

there's something about unexpected events... and uncertainty ... and fear of the unknown.

it brings us running back to the Lord and clinging to His waist, like a child to his/her Father.  It's in these times, that the time spent with the Lord seems so precious.  It's like I don't want to be anywhere but sitting at the feet of my Lord digging in to His Word.

sometimes i am so unsure of what I really want in life.  people ask me what specialty in nursing I want to end up in eventually, or where I would like to settle down... or how many kids I would want.  honestly, I just want what the Lord wants.  And I want to walk in His presence, and never leave His side.  Wherever that leads is where I want to be.  And it seems that most of the time, the Lord would leave future events clouded ... as if we are looking through the foggy glass...

does it really matter where we end up?  what degree?  what job we have?  what house or car we have?  what country we live in?  how many children we have? how many friends we accumulate?  how many numbers we have in our paycheck?  does this really all matter??

but what really matters.... are we walking with the Lord?  are we walking according to His will for us? Are we walking with our vision fixed on His kingdom?

That's what really matters.  may we cling to our Lord, and delve into His Word, and walk closely by His side, leaning in His everlasting arms, trusting in His wisdom for each and every day.
