Have you ever experienced times in your life when you just wonder, "Seriously...what else can go wrong??" For those of you who know me, you know that our life's journey has not always been a smooth one. As we have walked through the season of valleys I have often asked the question, "When does the road finally turn?"
This phrase reminded me of a song that means a lot to me and always gave me a smile and encouragement whenever I listened to it. The song is entitled "Man Who Walks" and it is by a group called "The Goads".
Here are the words...
"Going back to where I came from,
Now that I've learned a thing or two.
Life for all of us, I know it hasn't been easy.
But we've got a lot of living, left to do....
You know a man who walks by the side of the road, can turn himself around.
He can pick himself up and dust himself off, start all over again.
Days I didn't want to get up in the morning.
My family and friends, they got down on me.
I tried to tell them where I was going.
But they couldn't see the winner, I saw in me.
Now some folks even called me a "dreamer".
While others just laughed and they called me a fool...
You know a man who walks by the side of the road, can turn himself around.
He can pick himself up, and dust himself off, start all over again."
(Words and music by The Goads)
While I don't know when the road will turn for you (or even me in some areas), I do know that wherever the road takes us (whether good or bad) we can always pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start all over again!
What are some of your stories while walking down the road?
