Aware of the Journey

“Mary went with haste to the hill country…’ 

I love that verse – even though the only time I think of “hill country” is LBJ stealing the votes of west Texas. Mary thinks, but she doesn’t over think. She receives the Word and she acts on it.
 
One thing I really like about yoga class is the language “the practice of yoga.”  It’s intentionally NOT about achievement or arrival and more about just practicing everyday. I vote we should stress the practice of faith more than the moment of time we came to faith. Maybe less talk about “when I gave my heart to Jesus Christ” and more about “I’m practicing today” would help change our mindset from thinking we’ve arrived to being more cognizant of the journey.

Maybe we would start moving with haste on the word that is constantly coming to us as Bonhoeffer says.
