When I was getting ready to be gone for a couple of weeks, among my packing and readying things at home, I had to 'pack' for our dog, Rocky to be gone as well.

He was going to spend time staying at a family's home in Clarion. Rocky saw me getting his container of food ready, grabbing his lead strap,,,his food and water dish; as well as the pet taxi in which he always sleeps.

And he was getting excited!

He had no idea where he was going but my 'ready-ing', he had seen before. This meant he was going some place. And I ride in one of our vehicles was in the offing!

Out the door he ran with me. Jumping into our pick up!

I wonder sometimes how excited I am when something 'new' is happening in my life. When God has a new thing planned for me. I don't know what it is, nor where I am going.

But do I get excited about the 'trip' because I have trusted Him other times and He always has His best in mind for me? Or do I question? Worry? Sulk? Because I am not so sure 'this time' where we are going?

Father in Heaven, help me to be like Rocky. I want to be excited about the journey ahead. Help me to trust You. Help me to enjoy the trip. Wherever it might lead. In Jesus' Name Who already planned my/our journey; the one for this life. And the one into eternity. Amen.
