Columbus Day

A good friend inspired me to write about Columbus Day… I am like, “What’s that got to do with anything we are talking about here?” She said, “Well, you are always talking about missing the boat.” So…..Columbus was a skilled sailor who knew how to navigate his ship and he ended up finding America when he thought it was India. How many times have we thought we knew where we were going only to find out that we were way off course and not headed where we had planned. So many of us go through life getting mad at our situation because we are not where we thought we should be. We got blown off course. We didn’t adjust our sails. We didn’t trust our gut instincts or even worse, we just quit. And still, even trusting our instincts can lead us to a place that we need to be but not where we want to be. God’s got a plan for us all and “sometimes” getting blown off course is a wonderful stroke of luck.
