I hate starting over! It is completely out of my comfort zone! Life throws obstacles into your pathway that you cannot walk around. A simple "falling rock" sign on the roadside in which you are traveling can quickly become an entire "mountain slide" where you discover that the only safe solution is to simply carve out a new way around it.
When this happens we feel totally and utterly helpless. We find that this is where we are most vulnerable and frightened by the "unknown" of it all. We are no longer in control... Yet, God gives us hope and wisdom to start over...or begin again. We pick ourselves up and begin to prepare "new ground" as we follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit. This is called process! It isn't always easy or painfree, but as we carefully walk each step in the new direction God leads, we will find that the pathway becomes much clearer, brighter and our hope becomes renewed. Our perspective is extremely important at this time. Our disasterous situations should be viewed as "God's Opportunities". When we adopt this kind of thinking we begin to see that God's viewpoint of carving out a new way for us is not the impossible task we fretted that it would be, but daily as we cooperate with God, it becomes a visible reality!
God always has our best intentions at heart. He is full of love for his children. This does not mean that bad things never will happen to us; that death-type situations won't come, but it means that God has a divine solution to everything we face in life. There is a way through!
