Following God's Road.

                  So, one of the things that I've realized in the last few months, is how insanely important it is to dig into God's Word. In life there are so many ups and downs and turns and flips. But we can't control where God's road takes us. It's already planned out. And every stop sign, every U-Turn, every dead end (well we think it may be a dead end), is there for a reason. We may not be able to control where we go, because our path with God has already been planned by him, but we can control our attitude towards it. If every time, we have to make a U-Turn, and then another and another, we can get worn out and eventually run out of gas to keep on going. But along that road, God puts "gas stations." And our versions in these "gas stations" in this analogy, is (1) getting into God's Word and (2) surrounding yourself with people that are going to encourage you in guidance and prayer. How can we continue to follow God, if we don't have anything to keep us going?
