Lost in the Meadows

Lost in the Meadows; that should be the title of my month. There's an apartment complex here called the Meadows, and it's kind of like Pan's Labyrinth without all the scary guys. We get lost there - a lot.

And getting lost kind of stinks. But getting lost in the Meadows is kind of the best.

A few weeks ago, we were lost in the Meadows, and we were wandering around the complex trying to find someone's apartment. We stopped a nice looking man and asked him to help us decipher the "map". We got to talking, and we set up an appointment to come back and talk to him about the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Guys. That wasn't a coincidence that we ran into this man.


We've been teaching him for the past few weeks, and I feel like I'm learning more from him than he is from us. He was so prepared to talk to us and to hear what we had to say. The only way that we could have found him was if we got lost in the Meadows.

We felt like we were wasting time. We were getting frustrated. We just felt lost and confused. But God knew exactly where he wanted us to be, and when he wanted us to be there.

That's kind of like life. Sometimes we feel lost and confused. Sometimes we're frustrated that we don't have a clear direction, or that we aren't doing as well as we think we should be at a certain point in life.

But God has a plan for you. I know that for certain. He knows exactly what He wants you to become, and He knows exactly how to get you there. God will help you get to where you need to be, even though you might feel lost. All you need to do is have faith and act.
