They happen often on any journey. Sometimes they aren't so bad, as the detour may take us a bit off the beaten track, but eventually we find ourselves back on the main road, heading toward our destination.
Other times, the detour takes us down a different road and ultimately to a different destination altogether. A destination we hadn't yet anticipated or prepared for. It's scary and unfamiliar at first, but eventually we get adjusted to our new surroundings and make the necessary arrangements to continue onwards.
And what would a journey be without its roadblocks? These special devices often ruin the momentum of an otherwise smooth, uneventful excursion.
To be honest, detours and roadblocks suck, but sometimes they are necessary. They serve a purpose, one we may not understand at the time at which they occur. In the present, roadblocks can throw a wrench in the works of an already delicate trip, causing tension, uncertainty and panic. And there is nothing we can do, but wait to see what happens when the road clears.
...and so we wait.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. My husband to I are waiting to wait! We are in the middle of our home study but we are so hoping to get it out of the way in the next few weeks.
Blessings to you on your journey xx
You are so right about the road blocks. For years we wondered why we could not conceive on our own. For years we wondered why God would not answer OUR prayer. For years we just did not get it. Then, 1.5 years ago my husband was diagnosed with a hereditary medical condition. Finally, the road blocks all made sense. It's so hard to see it at the time (like right now we don't get why our recent match failed), but one day it will all make sense.
