The Journey

Everyone has a path that they must walk.  There are things that you want to accomplish and things you want to receive.  The problem often, is that many don't understand the journey to getting there.  It may not be easy.  There may be hardships, disappointments, failures, hurts, rejections, lack, that you have't to walk through.  The main Question is, "Are you willing"?

We live in a NOW generation.  So many things are not for now, but for the right timing.  If we received them now, we could mess it all up and destroy what was meant for success. The journey is for a reason of preparation. Preparing you and preparing you destiny.

Alone the journey we will have tasks, growing, pruning, and adventure.  We are to not focus on the future that we don't live in the today.  There is beauty in today. There are things you must accomplish today.  It is like stacks blocks.  Each day is a block.  Look at the block. Learn.  Grow.  Then tomorrow will come with another block.

Pastor TD Jakes  spoke in his series "Before You do", he painted a picture that explained it to me well.  He said "Many want to take the elevator in life".  But the problem with the elevator is that you get there to fast, and you are not prepared mentally, spiritually, emotionally, or financially.  You have reached or got what you want...but you aren't prepared for it.  

He said the best way to go up is the stairs.  One step at a time.  You step up, gain your balance and prepare to step up again.  By the time you reach your destiny...you are fully prepared for your destiny.

So don't rush the process.  It isn't easy but it is worth the wait...the step by step process.

And enjoy the journey.  No matter what you walk through.  Find beauty in the moment and be thankful that you already know the outcome.
