OK, Lord. You said to go this way to find the green paradise You have for me, and You know best. It doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere good though. I mean I don’t even see any green leaves or tall grass or anything. But I’ll trust You.Wait! Are You sure this is the way? There’s something dark and scary up ahead – definitely not the bright green You promised. Isn’t there another way?I think I’ll go this way. I see something green up ahead. That seems so much more logical. Maybe I just heard God wrong. It even looks smoother going this way. Surely God meant for me to go this way.See? Green leaves. That’s more than I saw the other way. But they’re so little. I know there’s more ahead. I’m going to keep going.Hmmm… maybe not so easy after all. But I KNOW there’s something up there that will be worth this climb. Nothing worthwhile is easy, right?Arrr… this is harder than I thought. God, where are You? Why aren’t you helping me?Whew, made it! Now to see what I’ve worked so hard for.That’s it?? That’s all there is? Maybe I should have gone God’s way, after all.
