Strange name for a blog, no?
Its inspiration actually came one day as I was driving around Phoenix, trying to find my way to a spot along the marathon route to cheer on the school's pastor. It was just a side road, but it really stood out. And it made me kind of chuckle at its irony - it's name was, in fact, "Road with No Name." And the name just kind of stuck with me.
In many ways, I guess you could say it's a very applicable title because, quite honestly, I am taking life one step at a time. (Confession: Some days that's harder than others.) But I trust that God has it all under control. The timing is right, and my heart is open to the many possibilities that lie ahead.
So bring on the classroom. Bring on the planning. Bring on the wing nights and trivia. Bring on the running, the exploring, and the Church-going. Bring on the laughter, the frustration, the smiles, the tears, and the opportunities...
For these are the things and the people that will guide me down my road with no name. Would you care to join me?
"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...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
Glad to know there's another trivia lover among my favorite ACErs! There's actually an Alguno Road in my neighborhood, so I can relate with this on so many levels. Happy blogging--I'll be reading.
