I have had a few times when I was so sure the way I was going was ordained by God only to find it was not.  The results turn out so much better when I approach my decisions with caution.  If we are not careful in our excitement and exuberance we are not fully aware of the curves ahead and find we are traveling too fast in the wrong direction.

To Fast for the Curves Ahead

In life’s travels you will find,
Things need to slowdown in trying times.
When trouble is ahead you do not always know,
But there may be signs that tell to go slow.
There are some that are on the fast track,
And they fly ahead and do not look back.
They are going toward a goal as fast as they can move,
Unaware of the trouble they are traveling too.
Relationships are at times like this;
When so set on the path the warning signs you miss.
Some may say perhaps you should take your time,
So every obstacle and every road block you will find.
The too-fast-for-the-curves-ahead signs do not mean to still stay.
Nor do you need to turn around or go another way.
Life has many twists and turns and some obstacles it is true;
But life has some free flying times too.
Listen to your inner-guide; He will not lead you astray.
Jesus died to give life-abundant in every way.
He is the way good you travel and He is your light.
Seek ye first the kingdom and He gives a rich, full life.
It is not always the way you want but always the way best.
Trust God, heed the warning signs as you in Him rest.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
