Past 11 a.m., I went here just to clear my mind. As I arrived, I noticed a muddy path ahead, so I chose to avoid it. I already knew how it could end. I’ve been here many times before, and I’ve seen what happens. I remember an older man who got stuck, and another time, a couple whose car was trapped in the mud. So I stayed where it was safe. I played a worship song, prayed, and spent time with God. About 1 hour later, another car came. They stayed 15 minutes and about to leave....soon enough, its tires started spinning, they were stuck. I went down to help thankfully, after several attempts, they were able to get out.
I realized something: avoiding is not always weakness, it can be wisdom. There are situations we don’t need to prove ourselves in, paths we don’t need to test again, and places we don’t need to return to just to see if things will be different. Sometimes we already know where it leads because we’ve seen it, or even lived it.
Not every open path is an invitation, some are warnings. And sometimes, the strength is not in pushing through, but in walking away, trusting that God is leading you to safer, better ground🙏☝️🙌
