Turns in the Road

Yesterday during our Bible study as we began looking at Galatians we got to talking about turns in the road and detours that we take.
When Saul had his conversion experience he didn't go straight into leadership. In fact he says that it took him a long time (years!) before he was in a position to be the person / leader he was to become.
One of the people made the comment that it was in those times when we couldn't see what was between here and our destination that God was doing the most guiding and shaping of who we are and who we are to become. So our assignment for the week is to look back at our lives for the detour that God used for the most good. (We also have to be as specific as possible).
I'll try to reflect and report on this later in the week but I think it is an excellent question.
