Road Closed….Do Not Enter. Follow Diversion.

hey bloggers

Ever felt like that? You’re walking through life without a care in the world, thinking you have life sorted down to a T. Been there and done that.

When I was in a relationship a few years back, I thought I had that part of my life sorted. Although we were not officially engaged (meaning I had no ring) we pretty much were. We talked about making it official in the latter years of my education, and getting married a year after graduation, so that I wasn’t planning a wedding while doing my final year. That would just have been too much stress for me and for him, who also was in higher education.

From day one of our relationship, we sought God’s guidance, and believed that one day we would get married. We talked about what kind of wedding we wanted, we picked the song for the first dance…and we even discussed where we would live after we got hitched – Scotland or England. Ok, so where we would live, was a minor detail that we had yet to agree on, but life was good, and I had security in him.

As you no, things ended with him on a rather harsh note. Such is life I guess. #road closed…do not enter…follow diversion. But from that day, to this, I have learned never to think you’ve got life sorted to a T. News flash, anything could happen, don’t underestimate. When things did eventually end, I thought, ok he’s not for me, but everything else in my life, is sorted….my University degree, getting a job after graduation…simple, or so I thought.

Here I am almost three years later, and I don’t even know what will happen tomorrow never mind what God’s got planned for the rest of my life. The Road to becoming a social worker, is now closed and I’m following the diversion signs. I have no idea where these are taking me…but someone far greater than I does.

Facing a sign like “Road Closed” can happen in all walks of life. It could be the guy to like is seeing someone else – Road Closed… it could be things don’t work out in a relationship – Road Closed…it could be things don’t work out at University or in your job – Road Closed. It could be a number of things. Bottom line…the Road is Closed to you, when something you thought was for you, turns out not to be. But to God, these Road Closed signs are His way of telling us, He has something bigger and better planned for our lives. Trust in Him.
