Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight.
Proverbs3:5-6
i am not so sure how i happen to land into some of the situations in which i find myself. actually, i'm completely certain of the reasons why i've found my way here. maybe it's more like i don't know why i let things go so far as they do. i'm a wanderer. as easy as the path before me may be, i like to make things interesting (for lack of a better word) and create my own way sometimes. or follow along a path that has led others to a dead end. and although i can very clearly see the direction in which i am headed, i forge on all the more ready to prove to anyone that their dead end will not be mine. a 'two roads diverged in a yellow wood' sort of image comes to mind. a very ordinary analogy for a very ordinary situation.
'prone to wander, Lord i feel it. prone to leave the God i love.'
i become very caught up in circumstance. inclined to place my understanding above the promise of God, it seems as though i'm not just wandering towards a dead end but racing there. and when i arrive - collapsing with exhaustion, defeated and completely lost - He picks me up, brushes off the dirt and tells me to try again.
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations3:22-23
