This morning I had an experience that was rather odd for me and my older daughter. On the way to school we encountered a cow in the road. A real one. We dont know how it got there or where it came from. We have taken the same road to school for two years. It just stood there looking at us. Then moved aside as I drove by. Mia loved having a story to tell her class. The cow was gone on my way home but it stuck in my mind.
As Christians we often encounter “cows in the road” or things that distract us from our chosen destination. Often times these things are called sin. Other times they are detours to a bigger and better destination. The truth is we never know where we are going until we put our faith in God. Lately, I have been not feeling God so much because I let myself get to involved in other things that werent even important.
This cow for me, symbolized some new expectations in my journey. I know that I need to detour away from certain things and take another route. Doing that is very difficult for me because I like the simple path that I am currently on. God has challenged me to get off my butt and try something a little out of my element. I definitely keep it posted.
On the other hand….
Sometimes “a cow in the road” is just ” a cow in the road.
