the road home

in 2004 and 2005, i was involved with an organisation called j-life. we were based on a farm outside heidelberg called camp eden. it was during these two years that my faith in the Lord Jesus was cemented and when i made much personal progress and started taking concepts such leadership and devotion seriously. God worked wonders in my life.

whenever i come back to the campsite i am always excited to be in this place of memories and to a place when somehow God seems more available to me even though it’s probably me being more available to him.

the farm house is at the end of a 9km dirt road. whenever i drive the road it is different. there are always new tracks being formed and new holes in the ground that were never there before. sometimes when it has been raining, it is a very slushy drive. other times when it has been sunny, it can be a very bumpy ride. but every time is different.

it’s like my path to God is always different. Or it’s like God’s path to me is always different. There are always new ways to enjoy the company of my Father. There are always new discoveries that await me.

the road is not generic, but the road leads to God and i know where the road starts...

James 4:8... ‘come near to God and he will come near to you.’
