Asher's Journey: Hoarding

Hoarding

Hoarding things - memories, moments of beauty, fun times, powerful Bible studies - is just trying to make every moment last because you doubt that they will be provided again. It's about fear, and it's about lack of trust.

"I cannot give two rubles and call it 'all,' and instead of 'follow me' just go to Sunday liturgy." - Dostoevsky

My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please You does in fact please You. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that, if I do this , You will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust You always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for You are ever with me, and You will never leave me to face my perils alone.

- Thomas Merton
