Remember what it was like to drive somewhere new before Google Maps? My Freshman year of college I was going to see a friend during the Thanksgiving break, and I was following directions written out by hand. My friend's house was about 4 hours away, and it was starting to get dark by the time I was arriving. She lived out in the country and the road I was on started to get more narrow, and then the pavement turned into a dirt road. She said to continue down a certain road and then turn left after an approximate distance. The directions seemed to be okay, until when I was supposed to turn on the dirt road I noticed I would be turning into an old creepy cemetery. I didn't know if this was a cruel joke, or I was in the wrong place, but I felt I was lost! Without a cell phone, a drove 20 minutes back into town to call and find out where I was and where I needed to be. After talking with my friend I discovered you actually had to go through the cemetery to get to their house. It was creepy, but eventually I was able to find my way. We all can get lost some point in our lives, and unfortunately we also all struggle with being lost spiritually. Thankfully, we have a God, that doesn't want his children to be lost, and he will do everything he can to find them! This week we discuss how we can follow the lead of Jesus and seek out those who are lost.
