A journey... not a race...

I am so glad that Life is a journey rather than a race.

A race has a definite distance with a markable finish line.

A journey is a continuing process of becoming/growing/failing forward/milestones of victory I love that it is all about process. Yes, sometimes I resent the process. Well, I resent the pain part. You know, the inconvenient stretch me out of my comfort zone stuff. But then I get glimpses of perspective that remind me that I am a work in progress and all this is necessary. I certainly don't want to go back to who I was 10 years ago. So I suppose that in 10 years from now I will look back at this part of my life and see why I was here, the parts of my life that weren't useful were pruned away, and the parts that were worth keeping were allowed space to grow and flourish.


"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" Ephesians 2:10


1"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." John 15
