If you read my last post, you'll know that I am struggling with some choices to make. Its not the first time and I am positive it won't be the last time that I find myself standing at a fork in the road wondering where each would take me and if that's the way I should go. Thankfully, I've never been directionally challenged and knew how to read a map long before the GPS navigation systems came out!! And honestly, I kinda trust the good old-fashioned atlases more! I think its probably because I do like to see the big picture instead of just what is right in front of me. (hmmm. It all makes sense now.... lol Ok back on track...) For example, on vacation this past summer with another family, they had their GPS programmed in their car as I did in mine, but both systems were giving us different instructions which made the entire drive to Florida very confusing to say the least! We ended up on two-lane roads in the backwoods of Alabama instead of the interstate like my GPS indicated. We had to laugh, what else were we gonna do? And of course, I had also brought along my trusty atlas and had it out a few times when we decided we were lost and didn't want to re-enact a scene from Deliverance. It got to where I would verify on the atlas if the GPS was telling us the correct instructions or not! I didn't trust the source that was giving us directions! Life is full of choices...its part of the journey. And its part of what builds our faith as well. If the path was always straight with no exits, no entrances, no detours, no side trips, no choices...it would probably actually be pretty boring and would require absolutely no faith. It would never require us to seek God and His plan for our lives. So even though the choices before me can be confusing and stressful sometimes, I welcome the challenge. It is causing me to examine myself and my motives. It is causing me to ask God what to do. It is causing me to trust Him as my source! It is humbling me to know that no, I do not have all the cut and dry answers, but that I need to seek out God for His answers. But I must choose carefully. The wrong choice could take me in the opposite direction of my intended destination. I know I could be a success at whatever I set after to do, but that is not the point. The point is that I am doing what God has asked of me. THEN, will I find happiness and contentment and success. If I am passionate about what I am doing, if I love what I am doing, then it will not feel like a job that I have to do, but will be something that fulfills my heart's passion and will bring the right results and I will be on the right road towards my destiny. I must trust my Source.
