Sister2Sister Talk with Lisa Terry
I get car sick, do you? Part 2
I am often bothered by this thing called Car sickness or Motion Sickness. In my particular case,
I get a headache and nausea. In extreme cases, I lose it and you know what it is. I toss my
cookies.
6 specific things cause me to get car sick.
1. Riding in the back seat.
2. Curvy roads.
3. Frequent start and stop motion (Either slow traffic that stops and starts and stops and starts or
a driver who is constantly accelerates and backs off..on and off.
4. Rainlooking through rain drops on the windshield-- if Im a passenger.
5. Looking/Talking to someone in the backseat.
6. If it is Hot in the car.
As, annoying it is to read that list, it is 100 times more annoying to be plagued with it. I can get
just as sick riding to Greenville as I can riding around the roads in the mountains.
As stated last week, these 6 things remind me of things Christians sometimes face. This week we
will look at the second condition---curvy roads.
Sometimes life throws us curves. We may have plans to start at A, move to B and finish at C. We
may have plans to graduate from high school, go to college or work, meet that one true love, get
married, have some kids, build a little cozy house and live happily ever after. Or Maybe you did
all of that and you planned retirement by a certain age. However, things just never turned out like
you wanted them to. Lifes curves messed up your plans.
The children of Israel left Egypt and were headed to the Promise Land. The route to the Promise
Land wasnt that far. A smaller caravan could have arrived in about 11 days. Since they were a
very huge group, they still could have arrived in just a few weeks. However, God changed their
route. God told them not to travel directly to the land because the Philistines were there and they
didnt need to deal with that yet. If you look on a map in the back of your Bible and see the route
that the children of Israel took, you will see that it was not a straight route. No. They took many

curves along the way. Along these curvy paths, the Israelites got nervous and complained. We
dont have water. We dont have food. Moses has been on the mountain too long.
God was taking care of the people and He knew how to best protect them. He used the many
curves to teach them who He was. He demonstrated His power to perform miracles, his
unconditional love for them and his holiness to them.
Today God does the same thing to us. He has some divine curves in life to teach us and protect
us. We dont understand them. We dont like them. We want to change them but God knows
best. He has planned out this wonderful life for us and this plan includes curves.
Ecclesiastes 7:13 says Consider what God has done. Who can straighten what he has made
crooked?
If the curves in our life is the plan of God, dont try to straighten them. Just hang on for the ride.

Hey guys!!! I aint even gonna beat around the bush, if you were not at our meeting last Thursday
at the Pavilion, you really missed a good one. Our Band Of Brothers Chef, brother Wayne
Bishop worked his skills on a low country boil that was the best one he has ever made. I mean
that thang was some more good and don't you forget it! After the food, we had a great time just
hanging around the fireplace and talking about what Easter really means to us. Man alive, how
the Lord Jesus has blessed each of our lives! Aint nothing no better than "Real Men" having a
great meal and helping one another to grow in the Lord by sharing what the Lord has done. We
love the Lord and we are not ashamed to say so! And brothers, I want each of you to know that I
love you, Band Of Brothers loves you and our church loves you. You guys are the best!!! Can't
hardly wait til next month. Til then...keep listening to the voice of the Lord and let's do what He
says...
