Stop Walking?

Every year I look forward to Lent. I want it to be a time of meditation and reflection...time to see where I stand on my faith walk. But that's the problem, I feel if I'm standing, I'm not walking. I inevitably have to be reminded that all paths have "forks"...I can choose to go this way or that. If I do not take the time to ponder the choices, very often I'll take the wrong fork. This often leads to frustration and heartache. And while it doesn't mean I can't backtrack and take the other path I may have hurt my relationship with God or others. While we all spend our lives in a faith journey, we must remember that God wants and expects us to make stops along the way. Whenever or wherever we stop, He'll be there.
