Curves in the Road

Frederick Buechner in his memoir The Sacred Journey says that God speaks to us in our personal lives and he believes that “(his) life and the lives of everyone who has ever lived, or will ever live, as not journeys through time but as sacred journeys.”   I’m reminded that journeys often have unexpected happenings that puzzle us.  A friend just went to Iceland and hoped to see the Northern Lights.    Unfortunately, she encountered the clouds, wind, and rain dimming her view of any lights.  She reveled, however, in the volcanic hot springs, the Cathedral of Rejkjavik, and the friends she found who helped when she lost her billfold.  My own health journey has recently met a curve in the road when I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.   I am so blessed, however, by the support of expert medical professionals, friends and family, and persons who have either been a donor or a recipient of a kidney.  If you want to learn more about my journey, go to my website:  https://sharonneedsakidney.org
