A day packed with a strong message about journeys.
We enjoy some bible study and this week we read about the Israelites 42 stops during their 40 year sojourn in the desert. The message that kept popping out at me is that life is a journey and every time we're put into a difficult situation or have obstacles block our path, or even take time out for good stuff, that is actually a stop along the way. We are meant to stop at that juncture. There is always a reason, whether it's for healing, learning, self-reflection, growth or something else.
This was relevant enough in our static lifestyles, but even more literal in our desire to be on the road. Every time we have a diversion from our travel plans, we need to remember that there is a reason and try to learn and grow from it rather than get all upset and focus on "if only, if only."
All so true! It does help to take some quiet time to remember that there have been many road blocks and detours in the past and that this too shall pass. Take care.
