On the road of the inbetween....



Do you ever find yourself feeling as if you're not sure in what direction you should be heading? The road that you've been following for so long now leaves you at an intersection of many different roads. Where to go from here? They all look the same, yet are each a little different. Which do I chose?

That's where I find myself at now. All these different roads but no atlas! Don't you wish sometimes that life came with a map? I do. But then life wouldn't be the surprise that it is, and when it comes down to it, would there really be any joy in that?

I feel like I'm stuck in the inbetween. Between where I am, and where I should be going. I just don't know how to get there. I have many different options, but none seem to be the right one.

I'm looking to God for direction in this. But it looks like He's showing me a lesson in patience. After all, this is what God told Abraham: Genesis 12:1(the Message), 'God told Abram: "Leave your country, your family and your father's home for a land that I will show you."'
    Abraham has no idea where he was supposed to go but he knew he was supposed to go. So, he went. Just following God even when he didn't know where God was leading him. At the end, he ended up with having more ancestors than the grains of sands.

Abraham trusted and went. I wish I could go and follow after God wherever He was telling me to go. But my directions are a bit foggy right now.
    So here I stand, at the inbetween, wondering in what direction I should be heading......
