I don't think I heard you right.

This started with me taking a walk through the woods last week.
 I had been walking for about 2 hours and was growing increasingly frustrated at the fact that I hadn't made it back to the park that I had come from yet. I had climbed small steep hills, jumped over a small creek, had spiderweb in my mouth, and been stuck on thorns and felt as though i deserved to be back at my starting place again. All of my 2 months of boyscout training told me I was far from that. My logic was "well eventually i will make it back to the start because this trail i was on should loop back" I was wrong. So i hit a fork in the road and decide that i'm not going to choose the wrong way again and ask God for the way to go. He replies, "Left." I feel the wind blow right as I start walking left. I change my mind to think that the wind is God telling me to go right and that I heard wrong. I wanted to keep control.
This is a reoccuring problem for me. I'll hear something begin to head that direction then decide I didn't hear God right and go the other. In most cases, God eventually puts me back on track after I hit a dead end. Thus our story continues, so I was walking right which looped around to the left and hit a dead end where I was forced to go only one direction which led back to God's original answer  the path I was on. This path led me back toward the park, little did I know that I was miles from the park at this point about 5 or so. So the path crossed a neighborhood which led me to well I can walk all the way back or I can walk on the road and hope for someone to drive by and give me a ride back to the park. This whole time, by the way, I am carrying my bible and have my guitar on my back. So this old guy in a truck pulls up and asks how I ended up in his neighborhood and I answer, "I was walking through the trails behind this park and ended up in your neighborhood." He asks 3 more times how I got there and once where I live at. So after that, He said to get in and he would drive me back to the park.

This is a great example, for me anyway, of how God gives us options sometimes. That there are multiple roads to the same destination. Now that doesn't apply to everything but when you have a destination in mind God is faithful to provide a way. Or maybe its that when we choose the wide well traveled path instead of the narrow road that God will send something to hurry us back to protect us from taking the longest way.

I learned at least one thing for sure that day though. The best way to let God direct you and to train yourself to hear his voice is to go off alone and let Him literally tell you which way to go. He won't leave you lost.
