Kate has had a bit of a week according to her post to us. Switching around her servers, dealing with a heat wave (with smoke from fires) and more. All that to say she’s given us the word route. I started this post Friday night but was falling asleep so here I am on Saturday morning trying again. I’ve come up with what route should I take?
What Route Should I Take
Yesterday afternoon I
had my route planned out.
First I’d go to mom-in-law’s
and then to the mission store.
Delighted to know of course
the store was open til 7!
The mission store you see
has a large homeschool section
I thought I’d boost
the area a bit.
Let’s just say, things
did not go as planned.
Turns out the Mission
Store does not accept
donations after 5 p.m. and
I’d missed by just a bit.
ANNOYING.
Even more annoying that
the girl at the desk
didn’t tell me this.
Oh the way home I had
a chance to reflect.
Was there a better
route I could take?
Should I have gone
there first?
Should I have perhaps
called first to confirm
all the details?
Did I spend too long
talking with mom?
Could I have, even though
I didn’t talk to the girl
afterwards, considered better
my frustration with her?
What route I take in how
I handle myself and the
world around me matters.
God calls me
“Be holy as I am holy“.
Can’t say my frustration
was a fine example of
holiness…. now was it?
So now’s the challenge
of improving myself
for the next frustrating
event in my life….
can I do better?
More reliance on God
is a necessity for sure.
All good questions.
thank you
👍🏻
I enjoyed reading this. It’s very thought provoking.
Following His path and purpose isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.
I’m visiting from 5-Minute Friday.
Blessings and success to you and yours!

thank you for stopping in Marie. So true about following God’s path.
LOL! Happens all the time to me! And, on top of that, I’m slightly obsessive about timing my trips … Amen to relying on God! Every. Day. FMF3
It’s hard sometimes when things don’t go as planned eh?
Reliance on God is key … in timing and in handling frustrations!
very true!
Just an FYI (in case you aren’t already aware), your post for this week’s prompt (PHASE) is not there. When I clicked on the link, it said “Page not found.”
thank you for the heads up!!! Gah… that was frustrating. I think I have it fixed now….
