An odd epiphany came to me while mowing the lawn with my dad. I was sitting on the riding lawn mower trying to mow the straightest lines I could while my dad was weed eating the perimeter of the yard. When he had finished, he began watching me while he took a break from working. Then, he began to show me small patches of grass I had looked over and missed. From there, he just guided me in straight lines so I would not become distracted, look away, and miss any more patches of grass. And I found out that if I continued to focus on his back, I would go straight.
The epiphany I had was about how much this scene is related to life. If you become distracted and look away from the LORD, you will no longer make straight lines, or paths. But! If you do keep your focus on God's leadership and guidance, your paths will be straight. God will guide you, but you must focus on Him and commit to following Him.
Here are some verses about God's guidance:
- Exodus 15:13
- Psalm 23:3
- Psalm 25:9
- Psalm 48:14
- Psalm 67:4
- Psalm 73:24
- Psalm 78:14
- Psalm 139:10
- Isaiah 42:16
- Isaiah 58:11
- John 16:13

There are days I wish I wasn't your mother so you would consider me an outside source, but I just think you are amazing. Keep it up Ashley, God couldn't be more proud!
