Our route to church has changed.
It’s construction season across
the United States. Millions of people are being forced off their regular routes
to roads unknown, sites unseen, and extra time spent.
Our new drive is taking us on
county roads that we had never been on before.
Quite frankly, I’m surprised that I have been enjoying the scenery. Getting anywhere even remotely close to on-time is a near impossibility for our family. So the added time of a detour is typically unwelcome and crankifies most of us.
In life, isn’t this usually the
case? We set goals for ourselves ~ dream jobs, just-so houses, the “right”
number of children, the perfect physique, relaxing vacations, a certain number
of visitors to our blog.
But what about when God sends us
on a detour?
When extra miles are added to our
trip before we reach our goal?
Is there some goal in your life,
something you have wanted to achieve or accomplish, but road blocks keep
popping up?
Perhaps God wants you to see
something else ~ or just enjoy the drive at a more relaxed pace.
When God gives you a detour,
enjoy the scenery.

Love this! It's usually about the journey...not the destination! :) Awesome pics! Hopping from Seedlings in Stone.

Thanks, Mindy. I'm preaching to myself, really. I'm so goal-oriented that I can forget to "stop and smell the roses."
DeleteHa! When God turns your plans upside down! I'm a recovering type A personality because I've learned that I do not have control over my plans. Thanks for linking this up Meghan.
