Why? Because we’ve been there too.
It was such a high day seeing my friend so excited as we visited the house her and her husband were
about to move into. Sure, it needed some work but a little acreage on the outskirts of a small town was
the perfect place for them to let their young boys run free and ride their quad bikes.
It was time to say goodbye, so I jumped in my car ready to head off. In a split-second decision, I chose to
make a wide berth off the gravel driveway opposed to the more complicated and time consuming 3 point
turn.
As soon as I crossed over the gravel and turned the wheel for the turn, the car slowed up and came to a
stop. I revved the engine, the tyres spun, but the more I tried to moved forward, the deeper the car sank. I
couldn’t move forward, and I couldn’t go back, it was hopeless, I was stuck. Bogged with filthy mud slung
all over my white car. Little did I know, it had rained hard the day before and while the ground looked
normal and safe, it was not safe to drive on.
Thankfully, I was able to call my brother-in-law who lived nearby for help. He was well equipped with a ute
to pull me out, and help get me back on track.
Isn’t this situation a parallel for life? Getting off track, away from God or and finding ourselves stuck in a
certain area of life. Maybe it’s a curve-ball from left field that we never saw coming like death of a loved
one, health issues or abuse. Sometimes we get stuck in grief, pain, depressession or fear and anxiety.
Low self perception and confidence. At other times, it’s destructive behaviours like bitterness, addiction,
unhealthy relationships. And we all need help to get unstuck at some point.
The truth is that everybody has a story and your story matters. We want to help you emerge stronger, like
God and others helped us.
