Faithful, Like Moss

They say moss grows on the north side of the tree. 

Unless, of course, you're in the southern hemisphere, then it mostly grows on the south side. 
Either way, no matter which hemisphere you're in, where there is moss, there is direction. 
There is something to be said for consistency and faithful guidance. 

From missioning last summer in Montana, to having almost completed my first year of college studying English and Spanish Translation, God's guidance has been faithful. His hand in it all has been sure. At every turn, around every tree, a sign to continue has been found.
From $1 plane tickets to Montana, down to the job I now have at Andrews University, to my new summer job working as a camp counselor this summer in Wisconsin, God has been guiding and providing and I am thankful. 

Doubts
Fears
Anxieties

They're all on the wrong side of the tree.  The side that leads astray.

The mossy side points homeward. 
Trust in the Lord with all your heart 
and lean not on your own understanding. 
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.  
Follow the moss. Follow the Creator. He will lead...
