"A detour is a sudden change in our direction forced on us by circumstances outside of our control. This change is unexpected, time consuming, and contrary to our plans. The emotion that accompanies this experience is frustration, disappointment or anger." Can you identify with this? Think of a woman who had her life planned with a happy retirement when all of a sudden her husband dies, the missionary who was sent home because of illness or buying a car just to get in an accident that left the car unusable. God allow us to take detours in our lives because He is working on us. If you are going through a detour in your life, I encourage you to listen to this message.
