What do you do when you seem to be lost while travelling the road map of your life
The GPS keeps spewing directions but somehow you can't seem to reach the desired location
In some cases you realize that you've driven up and down the same street over and over again
How do I get out of here?
Shortest distance?
Fastest time?
It's beginning to feel as though the voice on the GPS is mocking me
And as the tears of frustration roll down my face...all I can hear is
"Turn right at the next intersection"
"Next left"
Right turn in five miles"
And I go 5 more miles...10 more miles...15 more miles...still driving and no right turn...
Just wilderness...nothing to see, nothing to celebrate
Just me tired of driving and not reaching where I started off for 30+ years ago
Wanting sometimes to just stop moving and wait for someone to come and point the way or better yet someone else who will drive
But I can't sit and do nothing and so I begin to drive again
And I follow the directions
And although I've driven this way before I look out the window withe new eyes
And I see different things and meet new people
And the GPS continues to give directions as I follow
And although I still cannot see my destination...I keep driving
Because I know this GPS knows the ultimate destination
For my GPS ...it's God's Positioning System.
