I’m not sure exactly where the idea comes from wanting to travel a smooth path, but it does not seem to be based in reality. The life I have known thus far is full of bumps and snags.  There is no such thing as a well worn smooth path unless I am blindly following a road that so many others have traveled.  Those are valuable roads but we are here to set the course on our own adventure.  This means we will experience snags.  The beauty of it is when we fall in that hole, get yanked back by that branch, come across that obstacle, we discover who we are.  In some cases, we find the path we are meant to travel through the snags.  We seem to think that being alive is about getting it right, having approval from others, and being a success.  What if being alive means we can navigate through and around the snags?  What if being alive means we have learned how to use the courage muscle weaved in our hearts to find the true vibrancy of life within ourselves?  God invites us to view the snags as the path instead of the impediments they appear to be and use them to create our lives.
