Spirit lead me.

Recently, I have been paying way more attention to directions and where I am going. I've become more alert when riding with others driving and even when driving myself (yes, I do drive...just not very often). Taking different roads and figuring out directions, I have realized that there are about 11 different ways to get to one place. It fascinated me to think of all the different routes that one can take in order to get to one location.

I started comparing this to my everyday life. When I thought about it, I realized how many choices we must make in one day. And how each of those choices that we make can have an impact in some shape or form. It can be something so small but can make a huge impact. We are forced to make choices every single day. Some major, some minor. Either way, these different choices and decisions that we make can all lead to one place.

I began to think about all of the different choices that I have made in my past that has led me to this one moment in time. How did I get to this exact spot? What decisions did I have to make in order to get here? How would things be different if I chose to go a different route?

Often times, I think too much into things and start to ponder the "what if's". This is when I remember that God has set up this specific moment and He has planned out every step of the way. He already knew from the beginning of time which decisions I was going to make. He knows every single time that I am going to fail Him, every time I am going to run to Him, and every time that I am going to try and run away from His love. And yet, at the end of the road, His arms are still wide open waiting for me. Even though I may have decided to take the longer route, He is still there with open arms waiting for me to run back to Him. No matter what path you decide to take, He is there to greet you at your destination with His never ending love and mercy. My prayer is that He will give me the wisdom and knowledge in order to follow His obedience when deciding which path to take in my life.

"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders,
let me walk upon the waters wherever You would call me.
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander,
and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior." -Oceans by Hillsong United
