The Angel who had been leading them, now went around behind them. Ex 14:19

This feels a little scary. Like God know longer leads me, like there is no destination to aim toward, like God is done with me. You go behind me and all that’s left for my life is to clean up after me. This makes me sad. Gosh, Lord. But I just remember how I guide the children into the classroom at Day school. I place my hand on their back as I guide them. I don’t march ahead, expecting them to follow, I stay close with my hand on their back. Lord, stay close and guide me. Amen
