A little later in the day, I glanced out of my window, the entire ground was COVERED with a beautiful redish orange color that had been painted from the recently fallen leaves- another tiny mental note.
Nothing seemed special at either moment other than a thought. While I was typing on my computer I was in a daze. I was unaware of anything going on around me at all- I didn't hear anything. Then suddenly it was like I got a sudden jolt where I was intensely aware of the sound of a leaf blower. I turn around super fast and out the window is the lady blowing the leaves off of the sidewalk- revealing what appeared like a white path in contrast to the beautifully covered leaves. Then came the inaudible whisper I felt in my spirit, the path was there the whole time but it was covered until she uncovered it. In the same way, your path has been there the whole time. While you have not been able to see it, that doesn't mean it isn't there. I will direct your path as you move forward.
Then this verse IMMEDIATELY popped into my mind:
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-7
See here is the deal: While the picture above may be what we see- God's picture always has things that we can not see ourselves. See if I zoom in on that photo, you can tell that the drive is not just a tiny little path, it is much larger- but the path was covered.

See I have to admit, I wish I could see the whole path myself. But no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to see all God can see. I am going to work harder to just put one foot in front of the other and allow God to uncover my path a little at a time. I am going to be praying to get better at remembering that my path is there, I just have to wait for God to uncover the next step.
