Detours

God is in the detours;

He’s not in the smooth sailing

Nor the direct roads.



He’s in the rocky areas

Of our unpredictable lives

Ready to teach us something.



Our circumstances

Are not coincidence;

There is a lesson in pain.



When the going gets tough,

We must realize something

Better is on the horizon.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: I believe things happen for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right. Sometimes good things fall apart, so better things can fall together. ~Marilyn Monroe
