Question: Lord, I really don’t like this place we’ve stopped at, are we going to be leaving soon?
Answer: Well, we haven’t really stopped, did you notice we were still moving?
Question: Well, Lord I thought maybe it was just my vertigo and it would maybe calm down once we were away from this place. You didn't really answer me though -when are we leaving?
Answer: Again, we are still moving, we haven’t stopped.
Question: I don’t understand…. There are so many struggles…. I thought I just had to weather them and then we’d move on… Why am I not moving?
Answer: You are moving…
Question: It doesn’t feel like I’m moving though…. Why can’t I get away from this place?
Answer: You’re not in a place. You’re on a road….
Question: Well, but this stop along the road –
Answer: Nope. We haven’t stopped.
Question: (frustrated sigh) Okay, well, then when is this small part of the tour going to be over? I’m quite tired and I don’t think it’s doing me much good.
Answer: It’s never over…. Not until you and I are face to face… And I disagree that it’s not doing you good… I’m changing you…. The journey is changing you…
Question: Look here, The journey is HARD… it HURTS…. It’s the same hard and hurt again and AGAIN… When will this lesson be learned so I can move onto something else? You know, I’m really quite good at arithmetic….
Answer: Change is hard. Change hurts. You have to continue to change, it’s part of the journey. Yeah, I kinda already know you’re good at math, I sorta gave you that skill.
Question: Well, but couldn’t I just learn whatever lesson You’d like me to learn and then move away from this place?
Answer: One more time, kiddo – we haven’t stopped moving… This is your road…. This is the one I picked for you… This is the one I want you on… This is the one you chose….
Question: I want to change my mind… I want this to be different… I want to have someone else’s road… Just for a little while?
Answer: I want You to be like Me and this is the road that’s going to make that happen…
Question: Well, I really don't like this road much... I wish I could just move - WAIT! Don't say it! I know, I am moving.
Answer: Yup, you are...
