"Are We There Yet?": Embracing the Importance of the Journey

On this episode, we are diving into "the waiting." The time between decisions. The time between point A to point B. The time to pause. The path that we take to get to the destination.

Friends, have you ever been so incredibly excited for something to only get there and be let down? Or to have a differing opinion than the review suggested? Let me ask you this, did you learn something about yourself along the way? Or were you so focused on getting to the destination that you neglected to notice things along the way? 

Recently, my husband and I hiked 16 miles along the Appalachian Trail, which was rugged, icy, and snowy. I mean, we climbed to the top of a mountain! And on the way down, I could count twice on my hands and feet the number of people who asked us "Are we there yet?" So, that phrase and experience prompted me to dive into "the waiting." 

How many of us are spending our time rushing about and not taking in God's beauty around us? How many of us spend countless hours with our heads fixated on the destination that we lose sight of learning through the journey? Through the waiting? How many of us get annoyed or frustrated when things don't go OUR way during OUR timing? 

Friends, there is learning in the waiting. There is purpose in the waiting. There is pause in the waiting. There is GOD in the waiting. I invite you to learn something new about yourself today while in "the waiting."
