Then the Garmin said: Recalculating

Constantly I feel road blocked. It seems like just as soon as I turn around from the last closure, I take another path that further leads me astray from my destination.

Sorry for the terrible metaphor. Needless to say I am struggling. Even though I consciously strive to embrace God’s will for my life and attempt to become content in the beauty that is around me, I still come up wanting.

Prayer has become my only comfort. But even that requires striving and imagining the impossible. For prayer is a matter of faith. It is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. It is hard.

Hopefully through prayer I will begin to perceive the things that I have failed to see. Maybe I will begin to understand the roadblocks in my life. Recalculating...
