There are a lot worse things in life than getting lost or being waylaid by unforeseen circumstances. Oh, I know that at first getting lost, or waylaid, can be quite exasperating. But, did you know that you can turn the entire experience around and call ‘getting lost’ an adventure? As we watch Jesus walk through life, unhurried, I can imagine that He didn’t much care if things didn’t go just as He had planned. His mission, I presume, included ‘getting lost,’ though He probably reframed it as ‘going with the flow.’ Today, as you move through life, try not to fret what you cannot control. In fact, see if you can embrace the experience and determine what you can learn from this experience.
