Many times in my life, I have taken the wrong path. Sometimes, it was what I though God wanted me to do, but most of the time, it was just me wanting to do my own thing.

“Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one.” — Grandmother Willow, Pocahontas

In our culture, we expect instant gratification. We usually do choose the easiest path and the one that will give us what we want now.

Many times I have gone in a different direction than God intended. I experienced the consequences and then a wonderful thing happened. God put me back on the path he had for me.
