That's the place where everything that was wrong before is still wrong, but you feel better about it. It's also where you realize that everything that was wrong with you is still wrong but you feel better about it. It's also the place where you ask yourself if it was God or you who made the wrong turn that got us in this ridiculous desert just because neither one of you would get out and ask for directions. This is where you realize that you took the wheel from God because he wasn't doing a good job of managing your life. Then you remember that you stopped the car and asked him politely to step out...that you would take it from here. God is a gentleman, he will always get out of the car if you ask him. If you do, you had better be a better driver than I am. Otherwise, you'll find that you miss his company and guidance and everpresent comfort and leadership. And then it's a long, hard road to find the life you once had. You get accostomed to the wheel, and it's harder to give up than you would like to admit. But it shows you why so many people are stumbling in the dark during the brightest part of the day. They're just bad drivers doing it on their own. I’m in the rocky hills after the desert.
