A shepherd is a symbol of many things for me. A care-giver, a leader, a guardian, and above all a true friend. In so many ways I feel inclined to be such a pillar and guide, yet I know that I am far from perfect in all my foibles and weaknesses. How can such an imperfect servant himself be a guide to others? Perhaps in my path there are others that could benefit from my experience and avoid the pitfalls I have come to know so well. I don't know how I can fully express that desire to help, yet feeling helpless at the same instant.
Thus the use of Wandering. A shepherd should know the path and guide his flock, he should know how to care for each of his own. But for me, I'm still finding my way through it all. I don't intend to wax allegorical, and I can't really say these thoughts are all-inclusive and comprehensive. There is a lot out there to be discovered and explored.
My beacons are lit for me and I see them from time to time, yet sometimes I look away for a season and it takes me a while to regain my bearings.
This Blog is just going to be introspections on my own struggles that few who read this will truly understand the way I feel them. My writing is far from eloquent and clear, I just hope I don't forget myself and my own goals with all that goes on.
