Kayla Malynne Klaus & Christopher Allen Marsalis, on May 23, 2015. 3 Especially if we are still mourning all those old plans that we “knew” we wanted. This is where we once again find ourselves looking to Christ for clarity about our lives. We look to Christ for answers to make it all make sense. Which we may not get, or maybe we do, but not the answers we seek or that we hoped for. During Bible study and Ale and the Almighty this spring, both the youth and the young adults have found ourselves looking at this exact aspect of our lives and seeing how God’s plan for us isn’t always the plan we thought we wanted, and also how we live into this plan. We see that every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant. What we have to remember is to always try to add to others’ pile of good things. Even if they aren’t necessarily adding to ours. It may not solve their problems nor rectify their hardships, but that’s how we know that we are at least trying to live as Jesus teaches us to, by his example. To do what we can so that we have shared that light, and add good things. In this, we start to see why we are on the path we are on... In this we grow up. From child or stalled adulthood to adults, with purpose and direction. Where our great gifts are used for a greater good, in God’s greater plan. But how do we know we are even on God’s path? What if we made a wrong turn and now we are just stuck? It is here we have to remind ourselves to really look at the piles we have collected. Mainly our pile of good things – all the things, no matter how small or seemly insignificant, that have brought some amount of joy, or hope, or peace into our lives. These are the things that remind us God has never left us. That although we don’t always see God’s plans and more often have trouble understanding it – It’s right there before us. And we are not alone. Collecting Piles while Taking the Long Way Around... by Brooks Boylan [email protected] Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. – Robert Frost The fastest way between two points is a straight line. This is a fact that we all learn at a early age. A fact that unfortunately gives us wrong ideas about life. We tend to believe that that fastest, easiest way, is the best for us. Clearly the most convenient path is the right one, and any deviation is not: we look for the path of least resistance... It, this path, becomes the plans, the life, the idea of perfection that shapes us – that we put all of our efforts and energies in. It becomes the basket that holds all of our eggs. It becomes our life, or at least the life we think we want – the specific way we want it. And we want it soooooo bad, don’t we? Now the problem is that that fastest, best, thoroughly planned out path isn’t always the path we actually get to travel. Sometimes some of those plans work out; sometimes we get part of what we think we want. And sometimes, most times, we end up taking the long way around. Our journey usually reveals to us a path, a plan, a life that we never counted on and yet, despite the frustration of being not wanted or expected, hardly is there ever an occurrence where we regret that path which had been taken. Because it did make all the difference But this is never so easily done; it takes so much to see the blessings of the “long way around” road. We are left wondering what we did wrong and if there is anything we can do to get back to where we began. Then there is the question we have to ask ourselves: was it all worth it? Was everything we went through: the joy and pain, the failures and surprise successes, the lost dreams and the nearly built ones… Was the journey, the one we traveled or are traveling, all worth it? This is where the questions of “whys,” the “what ifs,” the “isn’t fairs,” and the doubt creep in to our lives. Especially if we haven’t seen the results of this “new” path yet, The truth is, most of us (if not all) know what this is like, and for the most part, we would never trade what we now know, what we have learned about ourselves and life, where we have now found ourselves, and what this unexpected path has brought into our lives. I hope when we find ourselves at a low point, struggling to understand the chances and changes of our life, we take the time to remember our pile of good things and may we trust God’s plan for us. And may we appreciate the blessings of the long way around road. 4 EYC Calendar Mondays Coming This Month...
