Hurtles

Sometimes we face 'hurtles' in our lives that seem like 'road blocks'.  There are times that we do have 'road blocks'; I tend to think of 'road blocks' as God's way of saying 'No, that is not what I want you to do'.  Sometimes hurtles seem that way, but I think it's God's way of redirecting us.  When I am faced with a 'road block', I tend to put out a fleece.  I am not questioning God.  I am finding out if what is in front of me is a 'hurtle' or a 'road block'.

The doors in our life

Our life is a mansion; rooms filled with doors.  The doors are all our choices, possibilities, wants and desires.
Christ, who is our guide, leads us around, showing us the doors we need to go through.
Lots of times we get distracted, wanting to go through different doors.  Sometimes we try to "back track", going back the way we came because this door led to a hurtful or painful experience.
God is molding us.
Those experiences are meant to shape us to who He wants us to be.  We just need to keep our eyes on Him, our guide, and keep following, until He leads us through the exit.

What door are you trying to open?
