I delight in direction.

as one of my favorite songs says:

"what direction? what direction? what direction? what direction? what direction?"

"life begins at the intersection"

and so its true. we have to pick a direction. chart a course and then go, follow, and DO.

faith is action.

i'm grateful to have a direction. to have chosen, pursued and been able to continue pursuing the course which i believe my father in heaven wants me to be on.

sometimes there are red lights, sometimes there are green lights, sometimes we are to proceed with caution at yellow lights. we don't always know what the intersection holds for us. maybe we are to turn on green and the choice is clearly defined. maybe there is a detour or a stop sign. maybe there is rough road ahead. whatever the way, however its marked, whatever the sign...know that our father in heaven is aware of you and that he will help you know but sometimes it takes us first making the choice and pursuing the course before the confirmation comes.

green is for go. if you feel good about it...do it!

red is for stop. obviously don't proceed.

yellow is for caution. proceed with caution.

sister jacobsen taught it to us in terms of dating on the night i got into the mission (because they wouldn't be our mission president when we would go home so we got the opening and closing fireside simultaneously). but i think the principle applies with anything in our life.

test it. try it. pray about it.
