Today’s Still a Winding Road

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged and a lot has happened since my last post. The title of my blog is “today’s a winding road”, originally those are lyrics from a song that I thought sounded cool, but the more time that has gone by I realize how true those words are. I started this blog almost two years ago and have definitely under utilized it.

Let me give you a few pithy thoughts on what’s been happenin in my life since my last post…

Anger, confusion, sadness, neglect, and feeling forsaken. These are not words that would typically describe my relationship with Christ. I recently went through a very rough season of life and I felt alone, and even rejected by God.

I was in California, in a hotel room, when I decided to be real with God, I explained my frustration, anger, an feelings of rejection with Him. I was quickened to a verse that has seemed to follow me my entire life…

” No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it.”
-1 Corinthians 10:13

It’s funny how God will repeatedly tell you something an yet you don’t believe Him. Much like how He told the disciples he would be crucified and would rise on the third day. It’s easy to look back and think “why didn’t you just believe Him at His word?” but during the circumstance it seems like the furthest thing from your mind.

After that night I felt a new connection with God and I felt a reconnection with Him. Since then things seemed to start falling into place, old friendships were renewed (and are far better than they were before), I had a $2,000 guitar just given to me by an anonymous friend who just wanted to bless me, I have gotten two jobs, one of which is working for Apple, and my day to day life is the best it’s been.

I’m not gonna get too heavy into anything in this blog because if I did that you’d be waiting for another blog for a few months

One lyrical phrase that’s always continually challenging me is “this is your life, are you who you wanna be?”. And I can honestly say for the first time, I am.

I’ll be back to write some more soon, until then, just remember that although today is a winding road the path you walk is set out by the one who has your best interest in mind.

You are loved.
