Markers. 📍

Life is a lot like a road trip. For me ,  on the road I get caught up in the destination and forget about the small mile markers along the way that tell you how far in the journey you are.

A lot of times we get caught up in focusing on the destination sign ( career goal, dream home, etc.) we get discouraged. We think man I still have so many more miles to go; that we forget the mile markers ( good health, connected family, able body, bills paid, clean water etc. ) that have been crossed to get us closer to that destination.

I know life can be draining with its many tasks and many inconveniences. But when we have those times we have to look with an optimistic view. Thank God we have the ability to take care of this inconvenience. That inconvenience can be what you need to slow down and look at your situation. It can be a chance that God is giving you to take a break, reevaluate and get back to the task with a clearer vision and a better plan.

The journey will have pit stops, road blocks, and road changes but they are all apart of YOUR journey that God predestined you to take. It will not always be easy. God did not promise us an easy road. God told us to take heart because HE has overcome the world. We can rest in the fact that we serve a God who knows the struggle, who is FROM the struggle and defeated it with everything in him. So with everything in you celebrate how far you’ve come and press on.

Celebrate those mile markers in your journey. They complete your story on the road to your destination set by God. ✊🏿
