It wasn't our usual foray, because the lot we'd visited last year and the year before was gone, and another location we'd used in the past had some seriously sub-par offerings. In the end, we tried a new place, quickly picked out a very nice tree, and brought it home. When it came down to the hours and minutes of it all, the car ride took 10 times as long as the actual selection process.
I guess I could've been mad about the wasted time, but I can't really, because I know that God often takes us on journeys that are longer than we might like in order to put us in specific places at just the right times. It's hard to be patient and to believe that things will turn out in the end --especially when it feels as if we've been traveling in circles and nothing is changing for the better-- but He always delivers... when He's good and ready. So no matter what road you're on, just keep walkin'. He may have a solution for you just around the next bend.
