Sabbath Sunday: New Roads
Each Sunday I share my own amateur nature picture with a few thoughts on God’s love for you.
This is Upstate NY in Autumn. Breathtaking, isn’t it?
It’s part of a 300 mile journey I take each time I visit loved ones. The trip is nearly a few turns and probably over 200 miles of straight highway. The road is known for bumps and construction.
Just like life.
I got so used to the straight road in my life that when a turn came, an exit I didn’t see coming, a detour I wasn’t planning, I let it throw me.
I fought it.
But beyond the curve was a new road full of color and opportunities, a journey I never would have known without the detour. The change. The unforseen. The unplanned.
When transition comes, and it is such a theme for this year, I try not to be so against it. I pray for guidance, that I’d see from God’s perspective all that awaits.
And to never take any of the roads I’m on for granted.
This month guest bloggers took over my blog to share their thankful posts. They are so inspiring and powerful I hope if you missed any you check the archives. There are also subscription options at the top of the site. This month is my favorite here, I think it will become yours, too.
