I may not have gone where I intended to go,
but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
Douglas Adams
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
Babies are not born with directions for upkeep and care, so wishing to be born with a map red lining my path of life is wishful thinking! Are we on the right road? Which exit do we take? Why is their a detour? How could I have run out of gas!
There are many twists and turns in life, but if we pay close attention we notice red flags or gentle nudges to be guided in a different way. We can be certain of a particular destination until an amazing opportunity or unsuspected loss drives us in the opposite direction.
Life can be so overwhelming we may feel totally lost or alone. We might even question if God is paying any attention. Having a human experience, our inner spirit wanders in the darkness until it can restore itself with insight and determination to begin again.
Seldom am I ever where I thought I would be, but I have learned that it is more important to know who I am. If I know
who I am, I know I will be where I need to be.
