When life happens, it's how you handle life's detours determines your direction. Are you moving forward or are you sliding backwards? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Personal development and growth is never easy. Change is tough. But if you desire to live your dreams with passion daily, you're going to have detours. Even Jesus warned us of this.  "In this world you will have trouble..." ~ John 16:33 When we lived in Houston, there were always unexpected, random road closures, detours. I would be forced to go out of my way to get to where I needed to be. And with traffic, that could add another 45 minutes to the travel time. UGH!!! When you wake-up in the morning hoping to coast through the day, only to hit a few detours.

• unexpected traffic accident
• call from school that your child is sick
• broken appliance so you are the phone to get it scheduled for repair
• long line at the grocery store
• running late, like every day.

How you handle life's detours determines your direction. Let's get to the heart of your typical response.

1. VICTIM - Oh woes me! Everyone is out to get me. Why can't I catch a break?
2. CONTROLLER - I will do this my way. Ego plays into it. It's all about #1 - YOU!
3. GUARDIAN - You want to play it safe. No risk.

What do you find in common with all three of these responses? It's about guarding, protecting you and where you feel comfortable. You want to protect your heart. You don't want to take the detour! That makes you uneasy, mad, angry, even depressed. So you huddle and hunker. But what's missed is the second part of John 16:33... "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." ~ John 16:33 The K.I.S.S. ~ Choose safety or significance!

1. How do you want to live your life?
   
   • With caution tape OR
   • With impact and influence
2. What do you want your life to stand for, to mean?
   • Protective of you OR
   • Unconditional love, willing to reach beyond you and your competencies
3. Where do you want to go, the direction you're headed?
   • Safety OR
   • Significance

If you choose SAFETY, you live life based on experiences, what you can control, and within the confines of your comfort zone. If you choose SIGNIFICANCE, you impact and influence; living life with God holding you up! "YOU matter!!! Live. Love.
