It's been said before? Who knew? I had been saying the every left turn, every right turn line to Angie since the very beginning of our relationship, well before I had ever read anything in the bible. Turns out, it wasn't very original.
While I was on a men's retreat with people from our Church, the guest speaker had a book titled "Made to Count". Being in a transition period (a.k.a. unemployed) I felt like this would be a worthwhile read as I try to figure out what my purpose really is, and the steps I need to make something happen. Later the same night, I laid down in bed and started reading. About ten pages into the book came the bible verse above. Had I not already been lying down, I think I would've dropped to the floor. Could this really be in the Bible? For my own clarification, I decided I needed to look at my Bible to really make sure it was in there, and it wasn't all just some weird dream I was having. Sure enough, there it was. It was about 11p.m., and Angie was already fast asleep. I was so excited that I just needed to call her. She answered the phone and I told her what I had just read. "Can you believe this is actually in the Bible? The same thing that I have been saying or the past nine years, (although it was a little different as we say every left turn, and the Bible has it every right turn) is in the scripture?" She wasn't nearly as excited as I was to find this out, at least not after having been asleep for a few hours. But she was glad that I was excited about it.
All that did was give me more faith that it really does all happen for a reason. Had I not gone on that retreat, or not bought the speaker's book, It may have been a long time before I was made aware of that particular verse. It was something I needed to hear right then. And like only God can do, he put it there in my path for me to see. Right there in black and white. In His holy word. Amazing.
