The Alphabet Highway
The journey to our destiny is paved with many experiences.
And there are many and various highways available.
Please allow me to share just a few highways that
Over the years have ushered me along my journey.
Alphabet 'A' was a highway that often denied ACCESS to me.
'B' represented roadways that looked like two U-Turns,
Indicating times of UNCERTAINTY requiring me to turn back.
For a time, the 'E' roads always pointed me EAST; Never West.
The 'F' roads were DISCOURAGING, but I always did my best.
I tell you, the 'G' and 'Q' highways were very CONFUSING.
At times, it seemed they were leading me nowhere.
There were times on the 'O' roadways I went ROUND and ROUND.
On this long road to destiny, there were forks in the road,
But the "Y' highways taught me how to be DECISIVE.
This journey would not be realistic if there were no 'W's.
There were always QUESTIONS of what, when, where, which way,
and why. But it was the 'W' highways that took me all the way west
to the Pacific Ocean, a region feeling most like home. Out west
is where I lived and worked for more than 40 years.
No, the journey isn't finished, and there are yet highways of life to be traveled. As I keep sight on my destiny, may l not Iose focus of my journey.
On every highway, God directed my path as I acknowledged him.
The 'L' roads were always there showing me how to LOVE.
And the 'T' roads reminded me that God was always THERE.
