"Each step to our destination is an important one. If we try to skip over necessary steps, it will only lead to necessary pain." -Unknown
I was doing my daily devotional on the bus heading to work and I read this. A light bulb clicked in my head and I was floored with how much I resonated with it. I began to think back to all the decisions I have made in my life. Have I been trying to take shortcuts, when God wanted me to work from the bottom up? I think back to when I tried nursing school, and Instead of going to a 4 year program , I decided to go to a 2 year vocational school to get done with it faster. And guess what that failed!The school ended up having lost their accreditation and they let us go on without telling us. I was trying to get to the top by skipping steps. I never stopped to ask God where and what he wanted me to do! God will let us walk into a storm, and He will only answer when we look for Him. He answers to our call, not our circumstance. Now I am in a place in my life that I would never in a million years I would be in. I am turning 21 and I'm on my own, working a full-time job and trying to figure out how to go back to school! I want to be 10 steps ahead from where I am currently. Unfortunately there is no shortcuts or cheat codes to life when you are living for God. He takes us to the places we are in because He knows what is to come. I want to be prepared to serve my God when an opportunity arises and being on my own I have learned how to depend on God to take care of me. He never fails! God has a specific plan for you and there is no other way then His.
I hope this helped someone out there, because It changed the way I see things and I wanted to share that.
Love Muscie
