I'm feeling terrible—I couldn't feel worse!
      Get me on my feet again. You promised, remember?
   When I told my story, you responded;
      train me well in your deep wisdom. 

   Help me understand these things inside and out
      so I can ponder your miracle-wonders.
   My sad life's dilapidated, a falling-down barn;
      build me up again by your Word. 

   Barricade the road that goes Nowhere;
      grace me with your clear revelation.
   I choose the true road to Somewhere,
      I post your road signs at every curve and corner. 

   I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me;
      God, don't let me down!
   I'll run the course you lay out for me
      if you'll just show me how.

Psalm 119:27-32 Message Translation


These are not the words of someone who is feeling confident in the direction of their life.

  These are the words of someone who is feeling lost, confused, broken, and burdened by the pressure to make the right choices concerning their life. 

These are the words of someone who wants to live for God, but isn't exactly sure what that even means or how to go about it.

These are the words of someone who knows their life is not where it should be, but does not know exactly where "should be" is.

These are the words of someone who understands that God is their one true source of hope for a good life even though their life is currently a mess.

These are the words of someone who has tried over and over again to "get it right" but has somehow ended up with their face in the dirt once again.

These are the words of someone who understands there is a road that ends in life and a road that ends in death......but is still unsure how to tell which one is which.

These are the words of someone who understands that God is the source of all wisdom, but also knows their mind sees what it wants to see.

These are the words of someone who promises to do it right if they would only receive clear direction.

These are the words of someone written thousands of years ago.......


Though that someone is also me.


Is that someone also you?




Join me this week as we take a closer look into some of these verses and see that in the midst of a dilapidated life, we can rejoice and know that God has good plans for us!  He will lead us to the road going Somewhere!  We are all Someones.......and we are His!!!

Love, Grace, a road to Somewhere day to you all-
