I’m wandering down an unknown road.

God is guiding me.

On my back I carry a heavy duffle bag.

Only grass and trees surround the road, but inside the duffle bag are an inflatable boat and a set of oars.

It is heavy and there is no place to use it.

I don’t want to carry it, and it times past I have even put it down to leave it behind.

But God seems to want me to carry it, so I always go back for it.

I am still carrying it.

It is still heavy, but lately I have been taking out the instructions and reading them as I walk.

I feel prompted to be very familiar with how to make this boat ready to travel on water.
