Winding Road

Sometimes during life’s travels, rather traveled alone, or with great company, we grow weary.  I am weary at the crossroads of my life.  You think about the momentous occasions that have tested your sanity, stretch your faith and even crumbled some dreams and you become weary.  You become weary when you’ve sat at a table, and mapped out the directions of your life, even including rest stops, but after years of wandering, it seems all you come to is rest stops , never reaching your goal.  Your feet begin to blister, heart begins to be burden down by hopelessness, and your mind begins to map directions back home, because you’ve been wandering way to long.  You hope that the people you come across in your travels can give you direction.  People, who seem to have come from where you’re trying to go, people who have GPS.  They however are no help.  Their GPS only seems to be able to give directions for one journey, theirs.  Their intent is genuine; they tell you where they’ve been, how to avoid the speed traps, the nasty diners and crummy hotels, but they can’t seem to give you directions to your final destination, so you grow weary.

You aren’t alone, it happens to us all, it happens to me.  The people you’ve asked for directions can’t help, not even with GPS because it’s your journey, your destiny!  That is the wonderment of God that he is able to provide everyone with their own destination, even when it seems others are on the road with you.  The people of Israel grew weary, wandering through a desert for 40 years; they even lost their way, being side tracked by fear, temptation, regret, faithlessness and uncertainty.  They too began to question their purpose, their promise and their destination.

I can only say, keep going, keep walking, and walk by faith, that’s your GPS.  Walk by love, not the love you have for God, but the undying love he has for you.  Know that he made a promise to you and as long as you continue to walk, never giving up, never settling for a destination that isn’t yours, you will get there.  Yes, we all grow weary, but, we can not give up!  You must keep that goal in sight, not allowing detours to be the main attraction, but driving around or through those detours and continuing on your journey.  You may even rest a while, but you must not grow content in the 5 star hotel room, when there is a Mansion designed with only you in mind.

So I guess I’m saying to you & myself, grow weary, it’s ok, the problem is when we stop walking, driving or peddling towards your destination.  Be determined, because of the promise, push because of your faith and believe because you have seen the works of God, in your life before, to know he is the ALL Mighty and has spoken so it shall be!!

Until Next Time, Love Someone
