Then I said,

     "What are these, my lord?"

The angel who talked with me

said to me,

"I will show you

            what they are."

                    Zechariah 1. 9

(What in the world is this?

This inconvenience,

these rocks,

this sharp bend in 

         my road,

        in what I think should be.

What has God placed in my life?

When I am walking with God,

               nothing is random,

      no matter how it may appear.

All has profound purpose.

All can be redeemed

              for greater good.

God never works 

               in singular outcomes.

Even in this.

"I just don't recognize it yet."

      That's what trusting God means).
