So long I've waited, waited for my life to begin. First it was high school, then university. Now it is career. What after that? Marriage, children, house with a white picket fence?
I am beginning to realize that life isn't about a destination, it is about the journey. The day - to - day struggles. Living in the moment and not stressing over what could have been, but accepting things as they are. Choosing to find the gems in your path, instead of focusing on the rocks you stubbed your toes on. Joy is found in looking towards the future with hope, dreaming about what could be and making a plan to weave that into reality.
Perhaps I am not where I want to be yet, but why should I let that steal from my joy in this season? My quest is to gain what I can through this time, this in-between. Before I know it I will be moved on to where I want, and look upon this season of quietude with longing and a sigh.
Lord,
Teach me to trust you. So often I forget. Thank you for being patient with me, as I seem to need to be instructed in the same way any times over. Help me to have joy in this season and give me eyes to see what you are doing in the here and now. Let me not discredit the work you are doing in me. Continue to give me a clear, laser focus on you. A heart that is relentlessly and hopelessly in pursuit of my King. Wholly devoted. Endurance for the journey, peace in my heart. I am Yours.
Love,
Lys
