Admittedly, the ice cream is delicious. The more literal rocky roads, however, can throw us for quite a loop. Truth is, it's not just one road. Life's like an intricate network of paths, with each intersection a decision, and each road a destiny. My fear is not that the road will get too difficult, but that I'm on the wrong one. Perhaps I made the wrong decision at the last fork? What if I'm going the wrong direction entirely? Sometimes I feel lost. Is that because I am, or is the road just more convoluted and painful than I thought? Sometimes I feel like I'm this high-tech gadget that I haven't quite figured out how to operate. It's got tons of potential, but the right combination of pulling this knob and pushing that button has thus far eluded me.
I'd like to wrap this up, all nice and shiny...with a bow on top. But the truth is, I'm still working through it. Sometimes, you're just not sure what to do. The journey is not for the faint of heart, but I know one thing, and that's that no matter the difficulty, we can't stop.
"But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul." Deuteronomy 4:29
