The Narrow Path






Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost


We see what we want to see. We act how we want to act. We believe what we want to believe. But, this is not necessarily the best way for us. Us humans are often blinded by our one-track mind. We become stuck in our ways and live our lives as if we know everything. What if, just what if, we chose to follow a different path, where we are led by our Spirit.  What if the path we chose to follow had many more gifts waiting, because we decided to let our faith lead us.

It's difficult to trust in something that is out of our control. Yet, that is where the beauty lies. I cannot begin to list the many times when I could have fallen so hard and to my surprise God caught me and put me back on my feet. Praying is my way of accepting Gods ways in my life because I know that whatever happens here is for a reason and I can either deny the outcome or I can embrace it with acceptance.

I've lived many years wondering who God was and if He was ever around. I always had a slight idea that He was watching over me. But, not until I truly believed, did I see what true living was. And not until I saw did I learn how rewarding it is to act upon righteous teachings.

Not many people have the courage to let go of their habits to follow an unseen guide. Though, those who do find themselves truly living!
