Two Signs


This morning as I was running I saw a sign that said "Limited Sight Distance." Later on in my run I passed another sign which read, "Caution Reduced Visibility Ahead."

Isn't this how life is sometimes?

There are times in our life when we really can't see that far ahead. There are times when we don't know how the choices we make are going to affect us. Sometimes that means that even in the midst of life-changing decisions we may not be able to see as far as we want.

That can be a scary thing.

I feel like I am hitting this point in the road in my life--and in so many ways. What to major in, what career to pursue, where to live, how to spend my time. How and what should I be preparing for--a mission, marriage, or a family--what is ahead?! It all seems kind of foggy at times.

This is the point where with our sight limited and our visibility reduced there is only one thing we can really do--and that's put God in the driver's seat.

We may not see the road ahead.

But with him to navigate we will be going the right direction.

Serendipity

The Oxford English dictionary describes serendipity as "the faculty of making happy and unexpected discoveries by accident. Also, the fact or an instance of such a discovery."
