Finding Your Way

I went to Austin this weekend to celebrate Bob Woodson's 80th birthday. He and Topsy are the healthiest, most energetic and joyful people I know. They both are an inspiration. Leslie and I left for the party Saturday morning with complete directions from mapquest and confidence that we would easily find our way. "Lost" is too strong of a word for our travels, but we did make many circles and redirections. As the lady on my Garmen says "recalculating." When we finally arrived at the motel that we would be staying, we found an "adventure" Let's just say it was not what we expected or preferred. We laughed a lot but I slept very lightly to be ready for any surprises that I thought could come our way. Even with all the joy of the weekend, Sunday nights are still difficult for me. What is this week going to bring? I pray For new directions and maps from the Lord that will help me see the bigger picture. He doesn't seem to answer this question. But, Maybe ....This is what I read in my devotional book "Jesus Calling" this morning. "I am leading you, step by step through your life.Hold My hand in trusting dependence, letting Me guide you through this day. Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy-even precarious. That is how it should be. Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things." I guess He did answer me. He never leaves me so I will trust HIM with the map.
