The Winding Road

The Winding Road

If you take a road trip up the mountains, you will see that the roads are not straight, but they are winding and they are narrow. The road does not leave much room for error, but it weaves its way around every hill and around every bend - you cannot see what is just around the corner.
And so it is with the road that you are on my child. For it may seem that I am taking you the long way, but the truth is that the winding road is indeed, the shortest path – for it takes into consideration the trees and the wilderness that surrounds the mountains. In the same way, my child, I know the way that I am taking you. I avoid the steep paths and I take you around the bend, so that the climb is not too steep for you.
I make you slow down around the corner so that you do not lose control ahead. I build a bridge across the waters that you cannot cross on your own and I guide you along the best of scenery. For indeed, when you have reached the top, you would have enjoyed an adventure and a journey of many beautiful moments. So sit back and enjoy the trip that I have you on. Trust in giving me control and allow me to drive you along this journey. Amen.
