My pastor has started a new series at church called “Convergence”. It is the study of what happens when one walks closely with God through an exploration of the book of Mark for the next year or more. This has been a great study so far, and has me thinking of something that God has stirring in my life. What happens when there is “Convergence” between God, His Will, and our lives? There is more than just walking with God, there is walking the road for God. This is where things are truly exciting, as you are not just depending upon God for eternal salvation, guidance, and protection. You are depending on Him to guide you each and every day, realizing what He wants for you to do and walking that path He has in store for you. Over the next few weeks, I hope to provide some more insight into what my path seems to be.
