So as I approached the Charleston International Airport on this morning to fly out to Huntsville, AL; I noticed alot of changes had taken place since the last time I flew which was only a few months ago. As I walked out of the parking structure where I left my car and onto the ramp leading into the Airport; I noticed signs stating Detour!! Most of the area was blocked off due to construction and there were only a few entrances where guest were allowed.
It seemed like I was taking forever to get to ticketing and this new way took me on a long, alternate route. I had a flight to catch and was honestly press for time so trying to figure it out in that moment was out of the question. Instead, I followed the signs that would ultimately lead me to my final destination.
Oftentimes, God provides to us a Detour, but we being the very intelligent and some of us (me) slightly controlling individuals we can sometimes be are not always open to taking them, especially when it's unfamiliar and uncommon. Many of us are used to making our own decisions at will without assistance of another be it God or anyone else. We view the dynamics of our life and certainly see where we have made tremendous progression in multiple areas, and we have a tendency to secretly but passively pat ourselves on the back in saying well done.
Even with our urge to give human praise, deep down many of us are undoubtedly convinced that God provided several Detours and that is the only way we ended up here. At one point in my life, I was not open to taking the Detours presented to me. Why? Because although God provided me with a Detour, the ambiguity of me not knowing where, what, how or when would gravely affect my human ability and need to understand. I would question God the entire time rather than simply follow the path in which He was leading.
How many of you are at this place right now? God has provided you with a Detour, but your human need to understand the how, what, why and when is consuming you? God is trying to take you down a path that will lead you to your final destination, but because it's unfamiliar and uncommon; you are, questioning Him and refuse to just jump in without knowing all the details.
I want to encourage you for a moment, the more you try to understand God through your natural instinct; the more unrecognizable He becomes. The natural wo/man cannot understand spiritual things and the more you try, the more frustrated and doubtful you will become. Although the path is unfamiliar and sometimes scary, trust God to lead you to your final destination. On this journey, you may have to take a route you've never taken before, you may have to walk through tunnels, take the long way around or even use alternate means in getting there, but I can assure you if you simply follow the signs, you will arrive at your final destination!
For those of you who haven't already, I want to charge you to register for the Fabulous I Am Conference that will be held here in Charleston next weekend. We will certainly be covering the dynamics of God providing alternate routes of you getting to your final destination. Until Sunday at 11:59PM EST, we are offering a bring a friend special.

As I followed the signs, it led me through an area which remided me of a tunnel. As I was walking through, I became skeptical of me reaching my final destination. Surely, this path won't lead me there, which was ticketing. Against my own personal gut and nerve to want to be in control, I continued to follow the path. After walking for a while in this unknown territory, I noticed another sign that said Detour with an arrow, assuring me that I was going the right way. I have traveled using this airport many times, but what was once very familiar and common was now very unfamiliar and uncommon.
