Milestones vs road blocks

Its easy sometimes to look at life's path, both the road travelled and the one ahead, and see a dismal road of pot holes, road blocks and detours.

Those same obstacles though are the beautiful milestones in our lives. Yes they can seem overwhelming at the time and take some time to get through. These are the times though when are hearts cry out, when we are broken and seeking God's mercy and direction. These are the times when God inches us along on the scale of our intimacy with him. Its hard and it is painful, but its God working through our situations and choices.

I am grateful today that I serve a stead fast God, a God who wants to mark my life with turning point milestones, not blind side meltdowns.

His love endues forever
