Bend in the Road

So yesterday was crazy with news posted about Ethiopian adoptions. And as I was driving in my car, my mind racing trying to wrap my head around it all, I turned the radio on and tuned into a favorite Christian station. As soon as I did I hear Dr. Jeremiah reciting a poem called "The Bend in the Road".

The Bend in the Road

Sometimes we come to life's crossroads

And we view what we think is the end

But God has a much wider vision

And he knows that it's only a bend

The road will go on and get smoother

And after we've stopped for a rest

The path that lies hidden beyond us

Is often the path that is best

So rest and relax and grow stronger

Let go and let God share your load

And have faith in a brighter tomorrow

You've just come to a bend in the road

I like it.

And do you want to know where I was going while my mind was racing? To the store to return pink drapes I bought for little sister's pink room. What ever made me think pink drapes would tone down that crazy pink room? I just don't know about that pink. We'll see.
