When the Road Ahead is Unclear
For those of us who were just beginning to make plans and look forward to a future sans pandemic — who were expecting a little bit more closure before moving on...
I want you to know that it's okay.
It's okay to be in process, to be dreaming of change, to realize that your present happens to be far from perfect — to have just crossed the finish line after a long journey full of perseverance (or lack thereof) only to find yourself packing up for another one.
Because the truth is... we are all in process.
And sometimes this 'process' looks different for you at different stages of your life — comforting yet discomforting, I know. And quite frankly, your process always looks different for you than it does for others.
But don't let it ruin your 'now'. Because just as easily as this 'in-between' came upon you... it will soon be gone.
You will soon begin to see the ways in which you are being led — and it might not be in the present tense... rather, you may only see this leadership in hindsight.
But this place has been designed for you.
It is at this time through these circumstances that you will be molded into a stronger, more whole human being — if you’re willing to let it happen.
And maybe... at the root of all of these feelings of uncertainty is just that: a yearning to be made into something more whole.
So fear not, friend.
Because while waiting periods can be far from pleasant with their restlessness, this time is not without purpose. You are being made into something beautiful.
We are not broken beyond repair.
We are not marked by our failures.
We are not our past mistakes in present tense.
We are not to be looked down upon for being in process.
Breakthrough is often just around the corner.
