Our New Friend "Bonnie"

TST is proud to announce a new addition to their ministry!! Her name is Bonnie Maps...she is a very smart, innovative and very talkative Portable Navigational System!! Yes, Bonnie is our new "Road Manager"!!! (Sorry, Dedra...just kidding!) During our travels this past weekend, to South Carolina, Bonnie was a constant reminder, "right turn in 1 mile...right turn in 800 yards...right in turn 700 yards...right turn in 600 yards...RIGHT TURN NOW!!!!" Needless to say, other than 1 minor error that lead us down a dead end driveway of sand (that's an entirely different post - ha, ha), Bonnie has officially become the newest Shadrix member!! Her accompanying the trip was very helpful despite our trying to follow our own path a few times!

I found that Bonnie's taking leadership over our trip was a reminder, to me, of how God leads us in our everyday lives. I know it probably sounds crazy to compare God's leadership in our life to an On-the-Road navigation system, but it's really true! Once our point of destination was keyed into Bonnie's data bank, we could have taken a course 500 miles in a different direction, seemed like we did at times to find fuel, but she could pinpoint EXACTLY where we were at and would put us right back to our path of travel...isn't God the same way? Many times in our lives we may find that our direction may become a little blurred or that the need for getting things done has, in a way, side-tracked our course. However, no matter where we are and regardless of how confusing lifes twists and turns seem to make us feel, God knows our "final" destination!!! HE is faithful to keep us on our course of travel toward our eternal home in Heaven! May be a crazy concept, but hey, it works for me! So, thanks Bonnie for keeping us on course and reminding us of God's leadership in our ministry! May we travel many miles until we reach our final destination with our God leading the way!!!!!

Welcome aboard, Bonnie!!
