Route Recalculating

Some times my type "A" personality has me thinking I can leap even further than my long legs can handle. These are the times that I hear that sound that many of you hear in your cars if you have a built in GPS system - "Route recalculating. Recalculating. Do you want to continue on this route?" This past weekend I had one of those experiences. It was a loving nudge that there are no easy routes to love and life.

As I sit back and think about the recalculation of my route, I have a smile on my face. Though I may have gotten off the route He has for me, at least I'm on the route. I am seeing and experiencing some interesting, fun people and things on this leap. Though naive about many things, I realize I have a lot to learn to be able to navigate this route and will likely hear that annoying message many more times before I see His Face. The good news is when you know your desired destination, these recalculations just seem like bittersweet rest areas.
