Bumpy ride

12 18 20

Feels like I’m driving on a gravel road
This life has many turns I better know where I am going
Buckle up and hold on, because it’s gonna be a bumpy ride
Better stay seated because you could get hurt

Bumpy rides can teach us to take different routes
If I had to choose, would I choose the road that’s smooth
To avoid detours that keep me from where I am going
If the road gets bumpy, do I still trust God with where I am headed

A bumpy ride could describe our relationship with God
A life that was turned upside down and inside out by God’s love for me
A time of reflection, do I pull off to the side, until the road becomes fixed
Or do I muscle through the bumpy road, and trust I will get to where I am going

Sometimes the construction needs to go inside my breaking heart
Sometimes I wish that things were easier and I could see ahead
It’s hard for me to imagine that I could learn from my mistakes
Harder still to trust that things are going to be okay
