Mixed Messages- camino meditation

CAMINO
sept 201o

no joke here is the sign post we had to follow. this is only one of a number of times during the camino that we found signs that left us thinking.....which way? On closer inspection it is clear that bikers should go around. From further away it looks like a choice, or at least a mixed message.

It reminds me though of sometime when God seems to not answer our closed door blessing. You know the God if you don't want this then close a door. More often than not it is as if God says, 'choose.' In this case it meant the road, or an enormous number of steps. On closer inspection you can tell which way makes more sense. I think the same is true with following God. Choose, and on closer inspection one might just be better than the other. The great news is that when God offers options, He is fully able to make either work.
