A Path to Peace

I was networking with a podcast host when she shared that she always likes to ask her guests about their journey.

This prompted me to reflect on my own.

Life often presents us with pivotal moments that set us in a certain direction or down a particular path.

One such moment for me was shortly after graduating from college. I was standing outside the condo I had been renting and meeting my new neighbors for the first time.

They asked about my future plans and when I spoke about my desires, they suggested I look into School Counseling.

That moment, that one brief conversation, set me in motion to getting a Master’s Degree in Counseling.

It wasn’t because they – a married couple who happen to work in the Counseling Department of the local University and just moved in next door – suggested it. It was because what they suggested resonated with me so deeply.

It gave me that sense of peace that seemed to say, “Yes, this is the path for you.”

I honestly don’t remember ever seeing or speaking to those neighbors again.

As I reflect on this more, I realize that when the choices we make give us a sense of peace, we are likely on a path to peace.

This does not mean that the path will be an easy one. It is, however, the one that we are invited to take - trusting that there will be support and guidance along the way.

Wow . . .

“Let peace be your guide.”
