I have begun to realize that our lives are a seemingly neverending journey. Eventually we get to our destination but we are not clued in to the timing on that. We have nice rest stops along the way but between those, we have no idea what kind of road or weather conditions we will run into.
One of my biggest mistakes in life is that I have failed to realize the destination.
I have been wandering around aimlessly - searching - for who knows what! What a waste of precious time. It has done nothing but frustrate me, wear me down and tear me up. And all the while I've had the roadmap in my possession but was too stubborn to look at it.
It is a very detailed map but not as difficult as I once thought. The directions are clear but I have to be open to taking them. I see the beautiful picture of my destination fully knowing that the picture is not even a fraction of how wonderful that place truly is. I long to get there.
The road ahead is as long as the road I've been traveling, but now that I have the picture it seems so much more worthwhile.
So I will continue on with all the unknown weather conditions and road hazards ahead, savor each sweet rest stop in between and try my best to keep that road map within my grip.
I just very much don't want to be alone in his journey. I know I have the ultimate Navigator but I want YOU to come with me as well.
