When you think of the word journey, what comes to mind?
This word feels a bit big for me today. So, I Googled it. I searched for quotes, Bible verses, and sayings. I visited Dictionary.com for its definition.
journey :: traveling from one place to another, usually taking a rather long time; trip; passage or progress from one stage to another
Some days it feels like I’m on the longest journey ever. Yet, on other days the journey feels fleeting.
It shouldn’t be November. I don’t know where September and October went to. But, here we are. And we’re here together.
It’s an honor to journey through life with you.
It’s a great honor, friend. God has crossed our paths at some point, and I thank Him for doing so. It’s no accident we’re in each other’s lives. It’s quite possible you and I have never met in person, and if that’s the case, I hope we can meet in real-life some day. But I am amazed at how God can unite hearts and create friendships through the internet and social media! (He can do anything, can’t He!?) Until that day, we’ll continue journeying together digitally.
Or, maybe you and I see each other often. Maybe we’ve been friends for as far back as we can remember. Or maybe we just met last week. It’s a gift to walk in person through this life with you.
You may think your presence in my life is unimportant, or that it’s small and insignificant. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
I appreciate you and I’m thankful you’re in my life.
You make my journey in this life sweeter. Your presence blesses me. Your words spur me on. You have a way of helping me see the brighter side of life, and you give me oodles of reasons to keep writing.
And, so I will. Thanks to you.
As we journey together, let’s continue to gather here… to extend hope, offer love, and do what we can to help us each become the people God desires us to be.
Thank you for allowing me to journey through life with you!
Blessings!

I’m joining in the flash mob of sorts at Kate’s for Five Minute Friday on the word JOURNEY. Also, linking with Crystal for Fresh Market Friday.
I’m sure this has blessed many especially those who feel like they’re alone in their journey.
Hi Lux! Thank you for coming by and for sharing. Bless you this week, friend!
So glad our paths have crossed on this journey called life. We will one day meet in person. I’m over in the 8 spot this week.
Yes we will, Tara. I cannot wait for the day! Much love.
Hi! I wrote a post after you on 5 minute Friday, so I read your lovely blog! It is an honor to journey with so many people along the way, isn’t it? Both online and real time friends….I pray you are blessed this day, that your blog encourages many and that you and your family are healthy! xo
