Day 2 of 7 (Monday, November 25, 2013) “The Crossroads of Life - With Thanksgiving, We Count Our Blessings This Week” … moving on with a new ‘game face’ – the path to the left … Still talking to myself, standing there alone, at the most critical crossroads of my entire life, I say: ”What if we (me, myself and I) choose that path on the LEFT – so we can keep moving forward? We would still keep moving in ‘some direction’ – any direction is better than this lonely and ‘God-forsaken’ crossroads. Yes, we would still be doing it ‘on our own’ too. Hey! Sometimes, we could try to maybe be ‘just a little nicer’ to a few along the way – you know, just a few ‘plastic smiles’, or maybe a few of those ‘happy (kind) words’ like you hear from those ‘churchy’ people? We could even act like we love some of them a little along that way (except, of course, not to those who are completely un-lovable - of course not - as others might think we are soft or then figure out our real plan here …). Maybe, if we mixed in at least some ‘semi-sincere’ gentleness, we could also do better overall … but wait, even ‘fake gentleness’ means we might have to sometimes wait on people or let them talk. Do your think we can really do that? If it really becomes necessary, we could always add even a dash or two of ‘calculated humility’, which couldn’t hurt our progress toward what we want. It seems to work for some – remember Billy? … I am not sure just how to ‘fake’ humility – I am good, but not THAT good …” Thinking to myself, as I would never speak this out load, even alone … “Gosh, how am going to hide all that anger which is everywhere? And what about my always pushing so hard to get it all right now? THAT is who I am! I am sure that this new ‘sweet and nice guy’ character role will cause me to really have wait a lot and even keep my mouth shut some, as I play this part where everyone just lays down for me, so I can have an easier time of getting what I want. This sure is a lot of effort for no real guarantee that things will even really go that much differently for me.” “But, it might be at least worth a shot. After all, what do I have to lose at this point? I mean, look at where I am – lost, with no idea even which way to go or what to do when I do go. I can just ‘hope and pray’ that, this time, I will be at lease a little satisfied with how all my friends react to me because of my ‘award-winning make-over’. … Though, when did this ‘sort of a deceitful’ approach ever really work very well for me before? When I put on that ‘game face’, it won’t take them long at all to figure for ‘just another one of my scams’. Now that I think about that, I could maybe do all this again, but it has never done the ‘trick’ before ... Insanity is ‘what’? So, should I probably at least look at one of the other two ways to get where I want to go without having to go completely overboard in becoming a totally new person? Thinking ….. and looking up a little, I say: God, if that was You a minute ago, help me now to choose the right path forward!” Again, like He was right there with me, His still, small voice says very gently: “Yes, it was Me. You were not hearing imaginary voices. I meant what I said: ‘I have put this Crossroads here in your path today, for THIS is YOUR ‘Day of Breakthrough’. So, count your Blessings, My child. I am with you! I won’t leave you unless you tell me to.’ You must learn to Trust Me. I will mark your Way clearly, if you will just listen for My Voice and direction, following only Me. My Ways Are Higher.” I think to myself “… That really was God! Wow! I guess I really am somebody’! … So, God, if not the path to the left with playing my ‘game face’ for success, then how about that path in the center? It looks straight and easy… … God, are You still there? …” “His Ways Are Higher” … as Always +++ God Bless you!
