Today is October 31, 2018 and on this very day you may feel how we can all feel when it seems that we are getting nowhere fast. I want you to gather those thoughts right now and release them forever in 3...2...1!
I decided to name this blog Journey of 1000 Steps because that is honestly how I feel at times. To get from point A to point B often feels like the longest and most drawn out experience/ However, I had to learn to gather every anxious and negative reservation about how my journey should look and how many steps I should have to take, and simply release them forever. Of course this is easier said than done but the practice of it is worth giving a shot. One of my favorite passages of scripture comes from Proverbs 3 verses 5-6:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understandings.
In all thy ways acknowledge him. and he shall direct thy paths.
This scripture lets me know that my ways of thinking about how my journey should go, is not something I should burden myself with. Why? because trusting in the Lord completely and doing all things unto him guarantees me a "walk way" that has already been paved. I only need to follow its leading. I know you have been working hard at your craft, business plan, demo reels, certifications, etc., and more than anything you are ready to leap (that's perfect! Keep that same energy) but let's do a mini maintenance checklist shall we! Is your heart pure towards Christ? Are you living for Him the best way you know how? Living for Christ is the only guarantee that we will never be in a gamble with life. (He can do anythinnggggg!) Are you playing the comparison game? Are you longing for quicker results because the guy or girl on your Instafeed is poppin' and walkin' in their destiny? (your time will come. You don't know the things they had to endure to even be able to post that pic) Are you ready for the inevitable demands that'll come with expanded territory? I know it isn't the first thing on our minds when we are thinking "Mannn, when will my process produce more results?", but to whom much is given much is required. Are you going through or growing through your lessons? Sometimes we can be so focused on the product that unbeknownst to us, we end up abandoning our process before the lessons within have a chance to mold us into the man or woman we need to be for that next level or for our destiny.
I know sis, I know bro; it can seem like a drag while we wait on our promise from God, that huge opportunity, or that dream to come true but if you want to be fully equipped to handle and occupy your PURPOSED THING (career, finances, family, relationships, marriage, friendships...), you have to RIDE YOUR PROCESS. The things I need to improve in or be stripped of may not be the same for you but guess what, we are all in this together (S/O to the original High School Musical.. a wordddddT). There is nothing too hard for God and nothing that He will cause you to miss when you allow Him to direct your path.
Ride Your Process... It's already worth it!
