Detours

Sometimes life takes an unexpected curve. Proverbs 16:9 says, "A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps." We map out our lives and expect them to go according to plan. And then -

Detour You lose a job,

right lane must turn right have to move

road closed sign or abandon a dream,

do not enter sign You learn you are pregnant or that you can't have children,

wrong way sign or you face unexpected health issues or take on a new challenge,

dead end sign or run into some other unforeseen development in your life.

Life is like that, always surprising us. While I sometimes wish I knew what tomorrow held, there are more moments when I'm thankful I don't know what's coming because I am able to enjoy the moments of the day without worries of tomorrow. That's my new motto -

Hey! I think I've heard that somewhere - "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Mt. 6:34)

All for Him,

Missy
