In reply to Jean Wise. Carmen Garmin...love that, Jean! My Garmin is Gi-Gi. :) I suppose it's okay for us all to have our oddities. lol.

In reply to June. So is it safe to admit that I still use Mapquest as well? lol. I do what you do: I like to see the overall trip route before I ever head out. Then I can take the one-by-one directions in the car. Ooh, yes, you are on to something about the shortest route not necessarily being the best one....sounds like another blog post in there. :) Hope you're having a great Thursday, June!

In reply to floyd samons. Yes, I'll take whatever God wants to use to point me back to him. Again and again I need it! And if he wants to use my Garmin, I can plug it back in from time to time. :)

In reply to Pam Ecrement. Alas, I know you're right, Pam. (I probably still have a few floppy disks in the back of a drawer somewhere. lol) Thankfully God never needs an update!

This is so good! I too have an ancient Garmin – we call her Carmen Garmin. Bill’s GPS is now built into his new car – she has a name too. Yes we are odd. But this has been a great post to read tonight. Inspirational!

Fun post, Lisa. I always like to map any new journey first, before we leave, so I know where I’m going but then use the app on my phone when we’re in the car. The problem I find most often is that it takes you the shortest route, which is not always the *best* route. I’m sure there is an application to be made somewhere there as well! I’m very thankful God sees the big picture and keeps us on the right path, when we listen and follow His leading!

Wonderful application, Lisa. Anything that reminds us of road of our life that leads ultimately to our Father is a Good thing. It’s so easy to get distracted and end up on the wrong path or detours.

Thanks for the creative reminder of being singleminded to His guiding of our journey.

We had a Garmin….you’re right about how it focused on just one thing. We loved it, but with Maps and Waze it has gone the way of floppy disks. Your analogy is so spot on, Lisa. It’s a great word picture to carry with me about the need to allow my focus to be as consistent and constant as the old Garmin.

In reply to Michele Morin.

Same here, Michele. One reason I love trips is because I get to read so much in the car. 🙂 When we traveled through Maine, I didn’t read quite as much because I wanted to see our surroundings, but usually my nose is in a book too.
Yes, God is definitely patient with us and our distracting brains. Grace!

In reply to Valerie. Thankfully God is more observant than we are, yes? :)
