Sorry I took a month to write
What about your life do you think should have been different? Robert Frost says in his poem "The Road Not Taken" that he saved the alternate route of his journey for another day, "yet knowing how way leads onto way," doubted that he would go back and try the other path. I've heard many people call this poem "The Road Less Travelled," as they look only at the last line to glean its meaning. But Frost's title implies that he regrets not having taken the road more travelled, and the last stanza's tone is forlornly pensive.
So, what roads do I feel sorry that I did not take?
I wonder what it would have been like if I had stayed in Texas instead of returning home after college.
I wonder also if I had not left Greater Atlanta Christian in 1989.
I wonder how things would be now if I had not left BellSouth to go back into teaching.
I wonder where I would be if only I had...
You know, whatever path I've taken and whichever paths I currently choose, God walks with me, and I don't need to feel, as Frost did, that the road he took made all the difference. I know that the Father who goes before me, the Son who walks beside me, and the Spirit who lives within me make all the difference in my journey.
I hope that this post was worth waiting a month for.
