Holding Pattern

 Been down this road before

Are we there yet?

Beginning a journey is always exciting,
The anticipation…
The planning and preparation…

You’re finally ready,  walk out the door and off you go!

But you soon discover the journey is long,  and sometimes boring.   It takes time to get where you’re going – and along the way there are roadblocks and detours,  breakdowns and distractions.

Sometimes you stop,  or take a wrong turn,  or turn around and go back.   On one road a bridge is out,  on another a tree down,  still another,  a mudslide across the road.

It’s always good to have some traveling companions – and you quickly recognize,  to your benefit,  that some look straight ahead,  some enjoy the company and some the view,  while others are always checking out the rear view mirror.   You watch out for each other,  inspire each other,  distract each other,  misunderstand each other.

Are we there yet?   How much longer?
Who knows?

Haven’t we been down this road before?   It seems so familiar,  like we’re going in circles.   Round and round,  circling the runway,  but never landing.

 

How do we break away,  break out of this wilderness?
How do we turn our dreams into reality?
How many times do we have to learn this lesson?

Just over the next hill or around the next curve,  we look for a sign,  any sign – but there is nothing to see for miles and miles,  in all directions.   There is no gas,  food,  water or cell coverage.  Just the road… and the journey goes on.

Have we wandered into danger?   Are there enemies all around?

Can’t we go back to ordinary and boring?

 

Do you ever notice how the seasons are just long enough – how we are always ready for the next one,  even though they are the same every year.   Each life journey has its seasons – the wintertime and the summertime and over and over again.

God has much to show and teach us no matter what season our journey is in.   Let Omniallinfinitude help empower your Journey.

Do You Ever Think About God?

Is your understanding of Him skewed because you look at Him through the prism of your own problems,  struggles,  experiences or situations?

It makes a difference how we think about God.

In fact,  it affects everything….

Everything we believe,  feel and do.

 

Our society today seeks to turn God into an errand boy,

a good luck charm,

a user friendly cosmic superhero

who shows up just in time to put a stamp of approval on our plans and make them so.

Unfortunately,  our human portraits of God hardly measure up to the truth about God.   And knowing and experiencing the truth about God is primary in living an adventurous and fruitful life.

 

So we will start at the very beginning…Who is God and how do I get to know Him,  not just know about Him?

Maybe you’re curious and taking the first steps toward a life of faith,

Or restarting a journey that has been sidetracked or burnt out.

Or perhaps you just need refreshment and encouragement as you continue to persevere in your spiritual adventure.

God is waiting

Let’s meet Him together in a brand new way.

Begin your Omniallinfinitude™ Journeys today.

God is the Ultimate Constant

He is so good at what He does – it seems we can’t help but take HIM for granted.

The extraordinary becomes so ordinary,  we no longer take notice.

We become blind to God and turn a blind eye to others.

Oftentimes we get stuck,  waylaid along the way,  and we stop and settle for a life of routine and hurry,  instead of one filled with compassion and creativity.

We . are . bored . to . death.

It’s so easy to get in a rut…..Three things can keep us from moving on with God and taking our spiritual lives off autopilot.

 

 

 

  • We’re just tired and weary,  always stressed,  chasing after the wind,  trying to have it all,  we don’t even realize what’s happening to us.
  • We’re afraid,  afraid of failing,  of our own inadequacies,  that we won’t measure up,  so we stay where it’s safe.
  • Life is good,  comfort is king – why upset the apple cart,  why risk something new,  why take a chance.  We become complacent and stop paying attention.

We give up,  pack it in,  and our gaze wanders from God – to anything else that might satisfy – but nothing ever does.  Our accessorized lives do not produce the lives of adventure we long for and that only God can provide.

We . need . to . refocus.

Omniallinfinitude™ takes us back to the very beginning,  who is God and how do I get to know Him,  not just know about Him?

It’s time to turn away from our preconceived assumptions about a God who is about our size and looks a lot like us – to the wonder and reality of actually sharing our journey with a God who is beyond our imagination,  yet as close as our heartbeat.

Yes,  there will be struggle along the way – and it seems we have a million questions.

  • Can He be trusted?   What can I count on Him for?
  • Is there evidence that God is real?
  • Why is this so hard?   Why do we struggle so?   Why is there doubt,  fear,  anger,  depression,  pain and suffering?
  • What is He waiting for?
  • Why doesn’t anyone care?   Why don’t we care?   Why doesn’t anyone care about us?
  • Why are we here?   What happens when we die?

The answers are out there – to all these questions and more.

 

If you are ready to START,  START OVER,  or even just in need of a little TUNE UP along the way….

…. Omniallinfinitude™ is for you.
