My life has seemed like a castle with so many rooms to explore. The room of Gladness where joy and hope abound. The room of self-doubt where fears and lack of self esteem reside.
Then I go a little further down the corridor and chance upon a room I very seldom visit. The room of regret and remorse. At first glance I can see a cobweb of delight lingering in the corner saying, "OH WOW, she's come back to pick us up again."
But then I am reminded why I don't come here much anymore so I quickly close the door and amble on my way, for this castle holds so many more rooms to be unlocked and perhaps memories to unfold.
So on it is I go, but oh, alas, what do I behold? Oh yes, it's a mirror afixed upon the door to my next room to explore. I see a foggy haze, perhaps a cloud of gloom and despair awaits inside this room. But to my great amazement and with much delight and joy as I finally find the courage to look within, it is the Lord in this room, abolishing me of all sin and guilt, doubt and despair. It is in this room I long to linger.
And yet Christ says to me "Now that you are walking with me and I with you, there are many more rooms in this castle for you to explore. Ones of Hope, Love, Faith and more and more and more."
So on I go to see what else My Lord has in store for me while in this dwelling place I explore...............Pam Fidler

ReplyDeletePam,
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to getting to know you and to join you in God's amazing adventure He has for you, and for each of us! I love your concept of many rooms in the castle - God's mercies are new every morning and lead us on authentic journeys into Himself that are indescribable in their beauty and impact.
What an amazing God we serve! I look forward to peeking in the rooms to catch a glimpse of the amazing adventures He has in store for you. Adventures into the heart and soul and mind that are more gratifying than any of our vacations to another geographical spot!
May God bless you with courage and strength and hope for the journey!
In Him,
Angie
Thank you Apollonia_316 I appreciate your scripture references and that you like the way my life's journey is depicted.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie for your compliments and for wanting to return to check out where God is leading me in this amazing journey called life.
ReplyDeleteAs He gives the words and His Holy Spirit enlightens me I will indeed be adding some new posts to this blogspot.
Hi Pam,
ReplyDeleteI finally read your post yesterday. Between traveling, catching up and technical issues it looked like I was never going to get to it. But ... better late than never.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this view from the "castle." Very creative and very insightful.
It makes it so much more meaningful to know something about the person behind the blog.
I also wanted to say, I love the way you have responded to those who've commented. When it can feel like a conversation it's so much more powerful and engaing.
Keep it up.
Great job,
Gail
Thank you so much for your taking the time, amongst all the other pressing things of your day ,to read a story about me. It means a lot to know that you like it and that you cared enough about me to encourage me to write this.
ReplyDeleteYou are a true inspiration to me and i'm sure to a number of other people in your life.
Pam, I look forward to see what you find in your other rooms that the Lord enlightens as you search your castle.
ReplyDeleteI thankyou so much for visiting my castle and leaving such a nice comment I am looking forward to you and others returning often and venturing through the castle with me.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful choices of metaphors, a great word picture. The issue is settled, you have the inheritance but not everyone in the family has yet found their way, so you explore on.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and leaving this comment Dear Richard... I do so look forward myself to seeing which room the Lord will allow me to revisit or to explore next that is here on earth. I can hardly wait until I can explore my mansion in Heaven with HIM.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful, Pam. As I was reading I could envision the castle so clearly. I look forward to continuing on this venture and exploring the castle with you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to end my day. As I lay my head down to rest this blog will remain on my mind.
Thanks so much for sharing and caring for so many!
