Saturday found us taking a walk at Castle Eden Walk way after a big meal with our friend we need to stretch our legs and get into the sunshine the boys so didn't follow our thought pattern! I had to drag them out but once there they loved getting there aggression out by using large sticks to whack the weeds! The other reason for going was I wanted to collect dead wood for the chiminea we ended up going of the track and collecting a good bagful, it was great to see our friend playing pine cone base ball and pine cone golf!!
We walked further along this path and the path came to fork which path to take the choice was ours?
We took the one on the right! Our friend wanted to spot squirrel they all were hiding but we were stunned by beautiful dragon fly and amazing spiders and their intricate webs and a few butterfly.
What would we have seen on the other path who knows? Did we go on the right path?
It got me thinking about life, I have made choices that led me away from God, relationship choices that harmed me not helped me, made quick decisions without consulting God.
As I was growing up I heard people say that there is only one path that God has marked out for you and you need to make sure you take that right path, I got so hung up on it that I was constantly anxious that I was making the wrong choice's. Looking back I now realise that what ever path we choose God doesn't shake his head and say " That's it you have done it now, your on your own!" He loves us enough to teach us lessons on those paths and can guide us back on track.
I know I want God's best for my life so I guess I need to consult Him more!!
Psalm 25 v 4 and 5
Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths, guide me
in your truth, and teach me, for you are God my saviour,
and my hope is in you all day long.

I admire your honesty Angela. Whilst there is only one way to God the rest of our lives don't need to be enshrined with prescriptive thinking.
