You know those roads or paths that you
can’t see around the next curve or bend? The ones that are unfamiliar to you. The ones that you’ve never been on
before. James and I love to go on road
trips to the mountains but sometimes those beautiful, curvy mountain roads scare
me. You can’t see what’s on the other
side. Will we be meeting another vehicle on the wrong side of the road? Will there be a cow, wild turkey or deer in the road? Will
there be a tractor puttering along at a snail’s pace? I remember one time we were on one of those
mountain roads on the motorcycle and we went around the curve and there was a
beautiful clearing. An open field of wildflowers. It was like a breath of fresh air. I didn’t realize that I had been holding my
breath, until I saw the flowers. What beauty had been waiting around the bend. This summer we took a hike and picnic in the mountains. After a few minutes of hiking through the woods we came out on the other side and saw these beautiful mountains. Sometimes we have to cross rugged terrain to get to the smooth beaten path. You can always tell that others have been there before you because the path is well worn. Beaten down.
Life is like that. A curvy mountain road or path. Situations are out of our control and we are
winding around unfamiliar
territory. Bills, cancer, separation, divorce, loss of jobs, etc. We just have to put our faith
and trust in God. We have to trust that right around the corner is something better. It might not be today, but it will get better. He promised that it would.
