Life isn’t
always peaches and cream.
Life can
unexpectedly serve up steamed green beans.
In my life, I’ve found these 3 ways to be the most common ways I end up
finding myself on a path that I didn’t plan on walking.
Obviously,
sin is the #1 answer, but I wanted to get a little bit more personal, so here
we go!
1) Relationships. I’ve chosen friends in my past, that
are controlling and I end up becoming the friend that feels the need to make
her happy to keep our friendship. I’ve
been a people pleaser. After the fun of
the new friendship wears off, and without healthy boundaries in place, I am
resentful of that friend. This relationship can also be dating
relationships and marriages. -Yikes! I know I’m speaking to someone out
there who knows exactly what I mean.
2) Misuse of Finances. In years prior, I’ve wanted to fit in so badly with the community
that surrounds me that I’ve racked up quite a credit card debt. I didn’t honor God with the money that he’s
blessed me with and I didn’t honor my husband.
I’ve been sneaky. That path led
to regret and mistrust between my husband and me.
3) Following Leaders Who
Don’t Lead. My husband and I have sat under the
authority of leaders who don’t lead us deeper into the things of God. We’ve innocently placed ourselves under such
leadership with illusions of grandeur and false expectations. When the promises fall flat, you see behind
the curtain, and you realize it’s never going to happen. This path is loaded with disappointment and
unforgiveness. This leader can also be a leader at work and in the home, such as your
husband. -again, yikes!
The good news
is there is a way to get back onto the Path of the Blessing. -and when I say “the” I’m referring to God’s path for your life.
If you
want to know more, you can find my book, “Path of the Blessing: Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob” on Amazon
