"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
Galatians 6:9 KJV
"So let us not get tired of doing what is good.
At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up."
Galatians 6:9 NLT
Everything is a process, well somethings don't have a long drawn out process, but in all things worth having there is a process that you must go through in order to get to the place that you want to be. I have been able to track alot of my process based on my daughter's growth timeline. She is currently 17 months old and started walking last Saturday. At 17 months everyone would always ask if she was walking yet, because the normal age to start walking is around 12-14 months. But it didn't happen within the normal age range so naturally as a mother you begin to wonder why? You ask doctors, they say that she is fine and when she is ready she will start walking but as a mother I wanted it to happen now; but I had to embrace the process. Like my daughter I too had to learn how to walk all over again after having a limb sparing surgery to save my leg. After being confined to a wheelchair for three months my first steps after surgery were unsteady, slow and only with asistance. Over the months I gradually learned how to walk with a walker, then crutches and then without help. Now a year later I am stronger than ever but still have my challenges. However, the holy spirit revealed to me that the journey is more valuable than the actual destination or goal that we aspire to reach. The learning is done in the practice room before we hit the stage it's not in the moment that we achieve the goal, that we acquire knowledge, or build character and wisdom, its in the process that we learn how to truly live, but more importantly carry out the purpose that God has for us. If she didn't have that time to build her muscles and strength during those 17 months, then when she first attempted to walk she would have callapsed. Anything premature will not last!! It's in the pressing, burning, stretching, and storm that we really discover how to walk. The moment she took her first steps she had built up everything that she needed; all of the courage, confidence, strength and skill for that moment and the moments that would follow. It's not about getting to that moment, it's really about the lifetime that we must live after that moment. So this is for me and so many other people who struggle with being patient in the process! Yes it is hard because we are so busy trying to get to the next level and get relief from the pain or get to walk in our purpose! But it's in the season of struggle, that season of building, that we gain our qualifications for the stage that we are about to take. When you are seasoned enough to walk it out and it's your time you have to be ready!! SO GET READY GET READY GET READY!!!! Be PATIENT in the waiting, LEARN, BUILD, AND GROW!! The best is yet to come!!
