Stop! Detour ahead

     So I'm driving along, awaiting to arrive at my destination and I see a "road closed", "detour ahead" sign. I roll my eyes and take a deep breath because it's only the 100th road closed sign I've seen for weeks! Taking or should I say trying to take it in stride, I follow the detour. Thinking to myself that now it's going to take longer to reach my destination. For me, it always seems to happen after I've had a glorious morning or a deep felt Confession. The Grace of God is prayed by me to keep this state of mind of Peace. But, so many times I cave and give in to impatience and frustration. Again, I roll my eyes. 

     My soul and my mind needs to be aware of the detours God allows to teach me these things called patience, humility, discernment and peace. His detours always lead me straight to Him. Where He's waiting for me with His handheld sign "enter".

     Every step I take. Every breath I breathe. Everything that lies within my first moment of the day, depends on my choosing of which direction I want to go. With openness to His will that the construction signs He lays before me will be heeded by making my will,  His.
