Fork in the Road

Why is it that, when life puts a fork in the road we stop dead in our tracks.

We go through life so carefree thinking that the choices we make will lead to to the end we have invisioned. But what do we do when that doesn't seem to be happening.We stumble, we fall we ask why.

I know Ihave. Life has taken me directions I never thought I would go. I never thought I would be a single mom. I never believed I would find my other half. The person that completes me, but I did, and he's tolerated me for over thirteen years. I never imagined I could raise three strong boys and that their love would make any heart ache disappear. I never thought I would ever have to say good bye to my Dad. I never planned on becoming a nurse.

Even though I never asked for or planned any of these things, life is pretty good. God gives a specific hand but as we play the game with him he teaches us and deals us a different card. I am eternally glad that i have never turn away from him because as I have learned he knows me best and has given me the best hand in the world.

Its funny that we always think we know what we want, but we really don't. Not at least the true desires of our heart.

I thank God every day for leading me to the fork in the road that only he knew would truly fulfill me.
