The Journey of MyLife

By: Bethany Plancke

As I look back over my life, and wonder where I have been going. Alternatively, have I just been going down paths that don't seem to go anywhere? During a time, when I thought my life was getting on track, but quickly it lead to a dead end. Can life get anymore complicated? You wondered if God has sent you a guardian angel to watch over you.

In the early 90's, a movie about Angels  came  to the box office  called, "City of Angels", starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. The premise of the movie was angels trying to get us to appreciate our own life. Since, you never know how long you have on the earth. Ironically enough there was a song called, "Angel" b6y Sarah McLachlan in the movie. One of the lines in the song, "Spend all your time waiting for that second chance."  Which is saying that if you spend all your time waiting for that second chance, what is the point of living, if you don"t get out do something. Another line in the song, "You're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there." If you know that there are angels among us they will comfort us no matter where the path will lead you.

The journey of life leads you down many different paths, and when you take one path it takes you to another fork in the path then you must decide where you want to go. The perfect bible story about life journey is, "The Prodigal Son." Where a young boy gets his inheritance and goes out into the world and lives life to his fullest. When his money runs out and becomes desperate to get back he had lost. But, when it failed he must face the fact and must return home and face his father. He tries telling his father that he is no good and that he's not worth being his son. The father will not hear it and tells him that he's glad that he is back. The father has a party to welcome back his son into the family. The last line of the story, "My younger son was lost, but now is found" II didn't realize what that meant, until after reading the story over and over that I realize  when you take your journey, that  you find out just who you are and how you learn in life.
