I wanted to share one of the most incredible poems that I have had on my wall since I was at ORU. It is Robert Frost “The Road Less Traveled” or now that I have done a little more research on it I see it is actually called ” The Road Not Taken”. So whatever its called at this point in my life it is all the same. It has been amazing the opportunities that have been put in front of me in the last six months. I can see today and in my road that God has put before me has always been the one that not everyone has traveled. I am so greatful for what has happened in these months. God has stretched me, tested me, molded me, spoke to me, and watched me in all my faults, failures and I can honestly say it has been an amazing ride. I have had the awesome experience to travel to Arizona to hang out with an amazing woman of intelligence, compassion, wit, creativity, beautiful, full of wisdom, and with a heart for God. I really felt a tugging from God to go see her before the end of the year. I wasn’t sure what I was going to find in Arizona or what I was really looking for. But I have been praying since the time I made my plane reservations. I was excited in my spirit but not sure what I was going to find when I got there. I wanted to go back to this poem in the last phrase of the poem. It states “I took the road less traveled and that has made all the difference”. It also goes along with my passion about not being average but trying to be extraordinary in what God has for me and my family. I see that road less traveled in so many ways. What happened in Arizona was so amazing it almost beyond belief. How cool is God to actually speak to my heart let me get on an airplane to a place I had never been and let me spend 24 hours with an amazing women who introduced me to another amazing women with the passion for helping others see a dream of writing a book being fullfilled. I truly told God a few weeks before that if he wanted me to really write the book he put on my heart to write he would have to put a ghost writer in front of me. Because of course with my big excuse…. I can sell a lot of houses but not sure how to write a book or even where to start. This amazing women I met in Arizona at lunch was so sweet. One of the first words that came out of her mouth was I am a ghost writer and I help people write and publish books. I thought I was going to fall out of my chair. I just started laughing and yes I had to appologize for laughing. I was in awe of what God has for me and he just keeps putting me in the right place at the right time. I have been working on the book and I am sure by next year I will give everyone an update on what it might be about…… God is good about proving his point to me on several occasions.
