Being in the driver’s seat requires both a steady hand and one flexible enough to adjust one’s navigation plan to accommodate the inevitable bumps in the road.
The real captain of this vessel dubbed me “Captain Zig Zag” as I battled the waves in an attempt to maintain a ‘straight course’.
Even with aircraft, there may be several course corrections as a plane speeds toward its destination. The pilot tells us he will change the flight plan to go around a storm – though frequent turbulence feels like he chose instead to fly right through it. Or, did it appear without any warning…quite unexpectedly?
Have you ever been caught completely by surprise in one of life’s storms? Whether by sea, air or road, they tell us to fasten our seatbelt for the ride!
I read (in a ‘vacation novel’ of all places) that God sends us the weather…what we do with it or what it does to us depends on how skilled a navigator we are.
Hold on, but not too tightly,
