The Green Path

What is The Green Path and where does it lead?
Physically, it’s a mown trail that cuts through a field. Any field or meadow. Anywhere.
Spiritually, it’s a journey of growth — choosing to grow no matter what.
If I find myself in a prickly patch — perhaps confronted with spiritual truths I’d rather avoid, or noticing a log in my own eye that I was darned sure was a spec in my neighbor’s eye — I move through it with startling realization and a newfound humbleness.
If I find myself tangled in weeds masquerading as lush greenery, I pray for discernment and listen to God for further instruction.
If I find myself confused — my mind pinging in every conceivable direction — I sit still and meditate. Confusion slowly falls away and patterns emerge from what I initially perceived as chaos.
I begin to see The Light behind my path, shining through it, illuminating it so I can move forward.
And when I find my momentum, I can look up without constantly stumbling and feel God’s warm embrace.

Take a walk with me by reading my daily devotional book, Meditations on Mendocino by Sondra Sula. Available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle versions.

If you’d prefer a daily river walk, Reflections on the Fox River and Beyond by Sondra Sula, might just be the book for you.
