detoured

Dear Reader's,
  Where  to start. well let's pretend we are going to a destination. you can choose where you want to go!     
   Imagine if you will we start off to our destination. let's say we are going to Florida the sunshine state.  we start off driving of course we are using a gps. and for safe measures a road map. so we start off and everything is going great, we are off  to a good start making good time. then you are on the I75 inner state highway driving through Detroit.all of a sudden your tire goes flat. so now your schedule is thrown off. you have to find a spare tire and or the nearest auto repair shop.  this throws off your timing. you are  now in a set back and delay.  you are feeling a little frustrated like really why didn't someone check the tires before we left?  but that's OK we still have  time we can get back on the road and still make up some timing. after waiting for an hour for the road side assistance to come to your aide and fix your tire. at this time everyone is a little more then anxious. you start on your way again determined to make up time. after a few more hours with a few pit stops here and there along the way.  you are with in an hour or  2 to reaching your destination. and all of a sudden you hit a construction zone. and i mean traffic is  lined up you look at the line and try to find a way out of it. but  there is no way to escape this construction zone. you wait another another and finally you are  at stand point. you are next to pass in the  construction zone. you get past this zone and you are starting to see palm trees. you are getting more and more excited. you are now minutes within your destination.
  this sounds like a crazy scenario right!!!!  see sometimes our life is like this. we have this plan for our life.  we are doing well we are making good timing everything is great.  then all of sudden you hit a really hard spot and you are then temporarily detoured.  some people you take longer to get out of this  detour.  then you get over it. and again things are fine everything is great again then all of a sudden one thing after another next thing you know it your life is spinning out of control. while you are waiting for the  construction God is really trying to rebuild and restore you. but let's get real here do we really like to wait? when we see things right in front of us. sometimes we are so close to our destination but yet so far from God! why? is that cause we didn't want to trust him, we didn't want to give him time to really work out all things in our lives and in the background. we are to anxious almost as if we place God on a time line if you don't do what i want now then i will shut you out i will be  angry with you God. when clearly the bible  says if he is for us then who can be against us. 
  where are you on your destination are you in the good times or the  bad? know this that God will always make a way so just  trust him. i know this seems like a foreign concept!
