My sister lent me her GPS when i had a specialist appointment in the Big City. Usually my husband drives when we are there, but this time the appointment was during the day so my hero (pregnant) sister took all seven of my children, plugged the GPS in my supervan and explained how to use it.
Of course, i got hopelessly lost and had to ask for advice three times from real people (once in a psychiatric clinic - oops!) - Anyway, i finally got there...
but what was neat about the GPS was, when i took the wrong turn it didn't punch me in the shoulder and say "you dummy!" - it just said in a really calm voice "recalculating, recalculating" and then resumed trying to get me to the place i was supposed to be at...
That's where i am right now. Not with God - although i know after we lost baby Charis, that is *exactly* how i felt - just kind of numb, and recalculating, and desperately trying to keep driving. But things have changed for us in the whole outward/Body of Christ set up - and we're... recalculating.
pray for us?
Absolutely Steph....life is a series of missteps and recalculations sometimes...but such a great adventure...
