Sometimes I lose my way…

This is from Write New Headlines by Andy Stanley. 

Sometimes I lose my way. Usually in the small things but then that’s usually how it goes. 

Sometimes I lose my way. More often I stick to known paths. That’s what you do if you’re direction blind. And prudent. 

Sometimes I lose my way, in time. 

Sometimes I lose my way. I snap free of the reins. 

Sometimes I lose my way, like I’ve wandered into a dark tunnel. 

Sometimes I lose my way, more often I find myself a way out, somehow. 

Sometimes I lose my way. I’m a great believer in self sufficiency, perhaps too much. 

Sometimes I lose my way. But I will find my way out, somehow. 

Sometimes I lose my way. That doesn’t make me special. We might all be partly lost, in different places. 

Sometimes I lose my way.

Sometimes I lose my way and come to somewhere unexpected. But I can’t safely do that except maybe in a shopping centre. 

Sometimes I lose my way, not down a rabbit hole, or not a literal one anyway. I only recently realised the saying came from Alice in Wonderland. Perhaps. 

Sometimes I lose my way. I cannot read the compass at all. But I’ve got a compass app on my phone now. Not really put it to use yet.
