Isaiah 61:1My Teachable Moment:
I was riding down the street today and found that my normal route was blocked with a sign posted.
As I was looking for the next orange detour sign, I found myself gaining confidence that I was being led in the right direction.
The Holy Spirit hit me with this thought:
The same way I was looking for and trusting in the detour signs is the same
way I should be looking for the detour signs in my life. When my life seems
to take a detour from my expected route. I really have to trust in the Lord to
lead and guide me. Proverbs 3: 5 - 6 immediately came to my mind.

APPLICATION: Start looking for the detour signs in your life and follow them knowing that Our God, Daddy is only going to lead us where HE wants us to be. Even if it means it is somewhere we do not want to be at during this particular season or challenge.
As I think about one major detour of getting out of the military and becoming a school teacher. I was following the voice of the Holy Spirit. The detour definitely made me trust and rely on God. My first position, I was a teacher with no experience. My students loved on me and showed me how to love. They also taught me how to teach them. I learned what their strengths and weaknesses were and also mine. We were able to work on them together. This is still true today of being taught by my students. We build and challenge each other as well as hold each other accountable.

Our detours can lead us many different places. But at the end of the day or month, were you obedient to the leading of the voice of the Lord in your life. Only you can answer that question.
This teachable moment has given me the PUSH I needed to continue to walk in what God has called me to do which is allowing HIM to set the captive free and help women take off their masks.

Prayer: Lord, show us take and navigate the detours in our lives that you have set up. Even the ones we have created in our own lives. Help us follow your leading and guidance. Also, reveal to us the deceptions in our lives that may try and mimic You.
