Today was a day of victory! After an unfortunate month off, I was finally able to begin working out again. I certainly didn't accomplish anything of marathon standards, but I set a starting goal...and met it. I am so grateful for this small, yet very significant accomplishment.
I began thinking. Life's journey also brings delays and victories. We may seem to do well and then face an obstacle that slows down the pace...tremendously. There may even be times when we feel we are not making progress at all. Yet there is purpose in healing, waiting, listening and seeking Him in every situation. For in His timing, we are renewed, restored and refreshed to continue our journey in whatever season we encounter. Steps may be slow and small initially. Yet each step that leads us closer to Him is significant and special.
It isn't always easy for a driven person like me to change the pace on my journey. Yet it is in the unexpected delays and detours, God has taught me the most beautiful, meaningful and loving lessons. I have missed working out for the past several weeks. But I have learned to slow down, soak in His presence and accept that the most precious steps are those which find us simply sitting at His feet.<3~thl
