Crossroads

                    
As I walk the road we call life,
I come to a fork in the road
One goes left and the other right,
The one to the left has a big arrow that says past
With a bunch of smaller arrows that has every
Failure, accomplishment, and good deed I have ever done.
The one to the right has a big arrow that says future, with a bunch
Of smaller arrows that are empty.

As I look trying to see where I should go, I see my past
And every stumbling block and valley I have ever had to over
Come or go through to get where I am today,
Then I look to the right and all I can see is a ever so small
Beacon of light , and hear a ever so small voice that says follow
Me and everything will be alright, so I decide to go to the right.

After a while I come to my first stepping stone of life and I try
to walk ever so soft, and end up flat on my face, after a little while
I get up and dust off and start following that small light and the ever
still voice that said follow me and all will be alright.
After I have been traveling for awhile I come to another stepping stone
this time I don't fall, I stumble a bit but I don't fall. As I look
up I see my next crossroads, this time the arrow to the left says your way
and the one to the right says Gods way.

As I sit there trying to thinking of the path I should take I look down the road to
the left and see mountain after mountains of rough roads as far as the eye can see,
As I look to the right once again all I see is mountain after mountains of rough roads,
so being the person who I am I yell why should I take Gods way if they are both the same?
And that ever so still voice said why don't you just have faith? I kinda chuckle and say madly
why should I have faith when both roads are hard? I will be climbing mountains either way,
so why not just do it my way? Once again the soft voice says have faith and follow me and everything
will be alright, so I get up and follow the path that says Gods way.

The closer I get to the first mountain I see a small path that goes around the mountain,
So I start following the small path, and I come to a small sign that says leave your baggage
here, so I do and keep walking till I come to another sign that says rest stop ahead.
I walk till I get to my breast stop as I sit down that small voice says my child you took
your step of faith, and left all your baggage behind so now I will carry you.

I have found that just because you follow the path God chose for you does not mean
it will be easier, it means when you get tiered God will carry you a bit
