Destination

If you have kids, you probably remember their asking, "Are we there yet?" when you were traveling somewhere. In fact, if you're like me, you remember posing the same question to your own parents when you were young.

Are we there yet? That seems to be a common question in many of our lives, often even more important than where we're going.

But maybe we need to slow down and consider our destination: Where are we going? And why? And what road will take us there and not someplace we didn't intend and don't, in our heart of hearts, really want to go.

These questions have concerned me quite a bit in my life. In being a wife, mother, and grandmother. In writing. As a Christian.

In writing my newest book, A Season for the Heart, they came to the forefront in a more personal way. And so I ask, where are you going, my friend? Will your destination meet your heart's desire? Are you going by a true road? And might we meet somewhere along the way?
