Whatever

It's a crossroads.  Again.

You stand in the wide open place.

No road signs. 

No destination known.

And you find the word,

"Whatever", escape your lips

in prayer.

Sometimes the road ahead

is clearly marked 

and with confidence,

you spring forward.

He spoke and you just know.

Sometimes there is a ridge

and you must take

a leap of faith.

Promises are there

to catch us if we fall.

Sometimes there is a crossroad

and no further 

until you pray

and catch a vision.

And sometimes 

you hear Him whisper,

"Just sit right here

and enjoy the view with me".

It's a peculiar and mysterious thing -

this life of faith.

You think it's one thing

but it may altogether be another.

We think so often it's the grandeur

but found the prestige  

was just a mirage.

And yet He continues to lead

and to guide and to teach us.

It's whatever.

It's whatever He wants.

It's "not my will but yours be done."

And He takes your hand.

Together you walk.

And you look in His eyes,

you see the expression on His face.

You feel the beat of His heart

through His hand you hold.

Whatever.

It was never the destination.

It was and has always been

His desire and longing 

simply to be together.

And together you share in His joy.

Come what may.

It is WE now -

You and I.

Wherever.

Does it even matter?
