So, I drove back to Auburn from Destin today.  On the way down to the beach, I had one set of directions ready, and by God's grace - I made it down without any turning around.  You see, I am typically quite directionally challenged - and I still don't have a phone - so I have been a little anxious about making this drive.  Today, I got out two different sets of Mapquest directions, my aunt was telling me others, and I got my GPS geared up to head home.  I was comforted to have so many sets of directions telling me where to go, that way - anywhere I ended up - something would be able to get me back on the right path.

Then I realized, between all the shortcuts and side streets in and out of the different routes, there was probably 50 different ways I could get home.  Some ways (including the way I ended up driving) were "safer" - but took a little more time.    Other routes were much quicker, but included many more turns.  Some onto very slightly marked streets - and making a wrong turn there could lead you out into the middle of no-where!  Some were simply more scenic than others.

I was thinking how much like real life that is - of course, I am not always headed to Auburn - but I am always headed to Heaven.  It gives me great comfort to know that regardless of the choices I make and different paths that I choose - as long as I am seeking to please God - I am going to end up in the same place, with Him, for eternity.
