Stand Together

I drove from Connecticut to Ohio today. Well...my mom and I did. We did quite well if I say so myself but...there was a little section before meeting up with my mom that I was alone and things did not go so well. In fact, somehow I got off 2 wrong exits within 1 1/2 hours. The only explanation I can give is that I was distracted. I was on the phone both times, focusing on a side conversation and not what was right in front of me. I get side-tracked so easily.

Something good out of this little mishap this morning though. I learned something from it. Well technically God used it as a physical example of everything I am going through right now. He directed me to a path to fulfill the dreams He placed in my heart but somehow I have gotten side-tracked. I looked for what would be most comfortable and what I could fit into the easiest...but that's not the path He placed me on. No, the path He asked me to take is dangerous and uncomfortable...and most likely culturally completely different.

I'm seeing the only way to really stay focused is to be on the path with someone else. Without the Body of Christ we are never going to fulfill the dreams God has placed inside of us. We are too frail on our own.

Stand Together.
