the light at the end of the tunnel

What seemed like an easy task (finding a soccer game with a list of directions) turned out to be getting lost multiple times, turning around in every driveway possible, ending up in Penn-dot's parking lot and to top it off a two hour drive instead of 30 minutes. But even with all these troubles we were still able to find our way to the final destination. I often live my life this way, thinking getting through every day will be an easy task as long as I plan everything out ahead of time but I am often proved wrong. God doesn't want us to be in control of our daily life, he puts those obstacles in the way for a reason. He wants us to put full trust in Him and let Him guide the way. If we do this and live our lives only for Him, He will be bring us to that final destination safely, and that final destination will be with Him in heaven. It is easy for me to forget this and try to get through life's struggles alone but somehow God will always lead me back to Him. It might be hard at times but life is so much more rewarding if we give all to the Lord no matter what problems we might be facing."And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming." 1 John 2:28
