Be Willing to Follow the Signs,,,

Recently, I was on my way to one of my favorite restaurants, when I realized that the street that I typically take was closed for construction. I followed the detour signs and eventually arrived at my destination. What I noticed is that journey was so very different for me. I saw things that I had never seen or noticed before. I realized that in life and even on our spiritual journeys, there is always a choice to make; be frustrated that the normal route is not available or be willing to take the new journey. Today I am willing to take the new journey… Every step and breath that I have taken in life has brought me to this present moment. So, taking a little detour every now and then is an opportunity to create a whole new experience.

I must say that by the time that I arrived for dinner, I was in a much different frame of mind. I was even more complete. Hey life, thanks for the little detours that show me the vivid sunrise or the gentle assent of a hot air balloon. You just never know what God has in store for you. Be willing… Be grateful…

Take the journey, take a chance and follow the signs and remember to just trust love. You will get to where you are going or you may even find a new way and place to be. Who knows? So, my friends I bid you good journey and I see your every step divinely ordered and your path full of infinite possibilities.
This is my truth… and so it is.
