Jesus and I were walking along the
beach, with a large, faded blue mountain in the distance. To my right
was the ocean, and to my left was some tall, weedy grass.
I knew we were headed toward that faded
blue mountain, but because it was so far away, I grasped for what to
do in the meantime. I found myself instinctively scanning my
immediate surroundings for things that were out of place. I told
Jesus, “I know I'm called to go to that mountain up ahead, but it
is so far in the distance I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing
right now.” I hesitated, then asked Him, “What do You want me to
do now? Is there something you want me to do or learn? What's my
immediate purpose?” Jesus looked at me briefly and then set His
gaze forward. He remained silent and continued walking beside me.
