Life is an incredible journey and it is easy to lose sight of it if we only focus on the moment. Some moments in life can be paralyzing if we let them. Those of you who have done much flying have been stuck in a city or airport when you needed to be somewhere else. It’s a layover, not your destination. None of us decide to permanently stay there. However, we are there. We make the best of it, maybe even find a way to enjoy it, knowing it’s a journey not the destination. We have to learn to enjoy the journey which means embracing changes.
Our Church has gone through many changes over the past 3+ years. These changes have reshaped and reoriented who we are and what we look like. There have been many moments in this journey that could have been paralyzing and maybe for a season even were. But weathering and savoring the good and bad continue to shape us for God’s plan – a people who genuinely reflect Him and reveal Him.
I am not the same nor is our church the same but what we are changing into is something glorious. This blog and our church blog will begin to reflect the changes we are going through. Tomorrow I am going to share a vision God showed me 3 years ago that has shaken everything in my life. (Vision: not something I desired or dreamed up, but an actual, literal vision from God.) This vision was the beginning of a journey.
Have you ever seen a literal vision? What did you see?
Can’t wait to read about it! Love you and praying for you.
Wow. John, I hope that I will become the man of God that you are someday. Great post. Know that this post spoke to me in big ways, ” It’s a layover, not your destination”.
