My Words to Live By

What is success? To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; That is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson


Bugs on the Windshield

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Prov. 3:5-6


Splat!!
The poor little bug on my windshield hadn't stood a chance.
Just fluttering along minding its own business, then...
BAM!
Blindsided!

That's how I've felt lately. Blindsided. Squished on someone's windshield.

I keep asking myself, Was I flying in the wrong direction? Was I in the way? Was I not supposed to be on that road? I guess I was wrong on all counts. In the wrong place. The wrong time.

BUT LUCKILY I'M NOT A BUG!! So now I get a chance to fly somewhere else! It's hard starting over, but life goes on. Next time, I'm going to do better at following Prov. 3:5-6. Trust in God, not myself, and He will tell me where to fly.
