I have to be one of the most inconsistent bloggers on the planet. It’s been a good minute since I last chatted with you all and for that I apologize. It’s been a whirlwind in my world, moving out of college, saying goodbye to good friends, starting to work full time, summer classes, and a social and spiritual life to boot. Ya girl had been a little busy.
I did want to share this small word with you all today though.
I live in an area with a lot of roads with signs that all have a variation of the same words. “Blind drive ahead”. Now for those of you who don’t know what that means, it’s often near a hill or sharper turn to notify the driver that their turn could be coming and they won’t see it or that drivers might be coming out of that turn they cannot see.
I’ve begun to notice life is kind of the same way.
I switched majors in January. Now for those of you who don’t know me in real life that might not seem like a big deal to you, but I have been planning on being a lawyer for as long as I’ve understood what lawyers did.
And I don’t change my mind.
However, God was driving with me in the passenger seat, and he took that blind turn I didn’t even see. I switched from pre-law, law school, and prestige to counseling, uncertainty, and pushback. Taking that blind turn was NOT easy. It’s still not easy, I still dislike not seeing my future planned out ten years in front of me, I still worry I won’t figure it out.
I have to trust the plan though. I have to work through the hard things because I know that the good things come from the hard things.
We don’t like not knowing where we’re going. Think about it, when’s the last time you just went for a drive, unsure of where you’d end up? Probably never. We as humans seem to have this tendency to focus on getting from point A to point B without worrying about the journey in between. That’s where those blind turns happen.
We’re going so fast to point B we don’t see the sign so we drive right in top of it then whip the steering wheel. The seatbelt stings our neck, everyone in the car was startled, and you just want to get to point B.
Doesn’t that sound like life sometimes?
Taking turns you didn't know where even there can be terrifying, especially when going full speed ahead. It isn't supposed to be something that you go into without a care in the world, but God does expect we go into it trusting the driver. He knows the roads like the back of his hand and He is going to lead you to go where you're supposed to end up.
This season, I pray that you look for those “blind turns” that you follow God’s leading and trust when He whips that steering wheel.
Trust in the turns, lovely, it’ll be okay y
