“Recalculating.”

We've all heard that word from our GPS.

There's an accident ahead. Road construction. A closed street. Suddenly the blue line changes and you're being sent down a road that makes absolutely no sense.

But you follow it.

Why?

Because the GPS can see something ahead that you can't.

Traveling through Europe, our family depended on GPS constantly as we navigated unfamiliar cities, train stations, apartments, restaurants and landmarks. We knew where we wanted to go, but we couldn't always see how we'd get there.

Life can feel exactly the same way.

A job changes. A relationship changes. A door closes. A plan falls apart. Suddenly, it feels like God is recalculating the route you thought your life was supposed to take.

And you're asking:

“God, this isn't where I was going. What are You doing?”

Kilimanjaro taught me that the path to the summit isn't a straight line either. The terrain changes. The trail turns. Sometimes the summit disappears completely from view.

But the destination is still there.

Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding...”

God doesn't always give us the entire route, every turn, and an ETA.

Sometimes He simply asks us to trust Him enough to take the next faithful step.

In Episode 173 of Summit After the Storm, we're talking about what happens when life suddenly says “Recalculating” and why a changed route doesn't necessarily mean a failed journey.

If your life looks nothing like the route you planned, this episode is for you.

Maybe you're not lost. Maybe you're just being led down a road you couldn't see coming.
