Sometimes on our journey we come to a place that we don’t know which way to go, a Crossroads. How do you decide which direction to take? Unfortunately, life does not come with a road map. It may seem like it does and you are barrelling down the road full force and run into a dead end, or a detour. How do you choose? East or West, left or right? Slow down, speed up, it all becomes one big blur. I miss the days when each day you awoke knowing what was in store for you. In retrospect we are always wanting to get to the next location before we ever get there. When we are single, we want to be married, when we are in school, we want to be graduated, when we are graduated, we wish we were back in school, and when we have children, we can’t wait for them to grow up, and when they grow up, we wish they were kids again! But if we could just realize that the journey is what is important.

The journey is what makes us who we are today. I think I may be at a crossroad in my life and it is frightening to make that turn down a road that is unfamiliar and draws you out of your comfort zone. But if you keep going around and around and around the traffic circle you get no where. Life becomes frustrating and you start longing for things to change. So in order to get out of that rut, you must make a decision and choose a new direction!

What if you don’t? You may look back on your journey and realize that you missed the best part of the trip!
