Depending on God

Yesterday I made a trip to Hot Springs, AR.  It was about a 9 hr round trip.  Ok, if you ever go there, don't come from the north,  you haven't seen curves and hills until you go on that road, Hwy 7, the scenic route.  I was just concentrating on not throwing up the whole time.  I'm sure it was pretty, but all I saw were the signs that showed curves and steep hills ahead.  My map was a little different from the actual way so I was uneasy about the directions as well.  I went home a different way, one that was less curvy and hilly.  A very nice lady at the dealership printed me a map to get back the new way.  This map was different than the actual way,  too.  I was so dependent on God for the whole trip.  I just prayed the whole time!  Every time I started to doubt I would see a sign that I recognized or that said the town I was heading for.  I started to just follow the signs and I made it!  It was by God's helping hand that I made it home without getting lost.  It was probably the hardest trip so far.  I drive dealer trades for the Chevy dealership here in my hometown.  I seriously need a GPS like a Tom Tom or something.  
Have you ever felt like this, not knowing where your going and your map turns out different than what you expected.  Just when you think your lost, suddenly a light shines, a sign shows up out of the blue to lead you in the right direction.  I have felt this way many times, just when I am about to give up, suddenly a light shines on me to show me the way.  
Faith Triumphs in Touble - Romans 5, 1:5 - Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.  Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  
Father, you are holy, you are our provider, you are worthy of all praise and worship.  Forgive me now for doubting.  Thank you for all your faithful guidance and protection.  Thank you for showing me the way home.  Bless all who need your guidance and protection and may we have faith in you.  We praise You in Jesus Name, Amen.

Many Blessing and Much Joy!
