Detours

Detours:
8.2.15

Hospitals can actually be peaceful places in the early mornings.  As I've been sitting here by the window, thinking, praying, meditating on some verses and staring out at the sky, I've been thinking about journeys! Life is a journey-we plan our journeys so well, we almost plan too well! I've done a lot of planning and it's amazing how many times there have been detours in my life, BIG detours! 
I had a detour Sunday night as we pulled into Lynchburg with confirmations in hand, itineraries planned.... Then the detour.... The minute we turned up the mountain onto the hotel road, my chest constricted, head-ache, pain, pressure.... My detour has had me in the hospital Sunday thru Tuesday.... Totally unexpected!! Way different from "The Plan".  What will your detour be today?? You don't know! If not today or tomorrow, your detour is coming! It will take you along a route that you didn't plan to encounter.  How wonderful to know that through all of the changes and detours, there IS one constant....Jesus NEVER changes, Jesus NEVER fails!
I've learned that no matter the road, no matter the difficulty, I can trust my Journey with the one who cannot fail and who never forsakes!

"The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore." Psalm 121:8
