Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

Our Journey

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord, lean not on your own understanding, acknowledge Him in all you do, and He shall direct your path.

I really prefer to know where I am going in life. Imagine my surprise when answering the call into ministry and God didn’t lay out for me exactly how my life was going to play out. I went to school for ministry and ended up with multiple degrees that in the natural didn’t make sense. Yet for what God has called me to, it was just what I needed. God's plans may not always seem to follow our natural inclination.

Remember that God is a creative God. More often than not when you start you will never know where you will end up. He rarely deals in straight lines. While you desire a straight line journey from point A to point B, He will take you on a much more interesting path that includes mountains and valleys, curves and detours, even times of dark and light.

Just remember the verse above and let Him direct your path. If you let Him, God will lead to His ultimate destination for you.
