I’m not kidding! I’m in Houston Texas and not really (at all) familiar with the roads. Also I am staying at someone’s home here and lets just say its not the simplest place to get to (or is it?). So I’m driving there from my friend Zach’s house and using my handy-dandy iPhone maps to get there when all of a sudden…BOOM….my phone dies. Well me being the MAN I am decide that I don’t need an “iMap” to get home…I am my own “guyMap”….(dumb idea). I was WAAAYYY off and had no idea where I was or how I got there. All I knew is that I was lost and I needed help. I searched a few places and none had a charger for the car nor a charger for the 3GS. I soon found a Wal-Mart, got a charger, and mapped my way there. Turns out I was 30 minutes out of the way. Not to even add in the hour and a half I had been looking for it myself.

It’s funny how similar that story is to life. Somewhere down the road we seem to think that we have all the answers we need in ourselves. I don’t know what causes it but we definitely just DO. But then things don’t seem to look like they need to be and so we try different things to make it work. The hard part is that we never seem to find our way. I think thats why God gave us a roadmap. The Bible and our relationship with Christ can lead us through the hardest times in life. There may be some hard roads but still there is a path to get us through it. And i like how its not just one straight shot, but steps. Just like Mapquest or whatever you use goes one step at a time as for us to not get ahead of ourselves.

All this to say USE YOUR ROADMAP! ha! We can’t do it alone. Psalms 119:105 says ” Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” Remember he is the light and without Him its like driving with no headlights in the woods. We need that light.
