Stuck In The InBetween

Today's lesson at church hit me a little different than usual. He spoke about us being stuck in the inbetween. Some of us between dating and getting married, between graduation and a real job, or any of the sort. I'm sort of in between all of it. I'm not dating, not married, have a real job now but don't feel like I am really moving forward at all. It's a weird feeling because part of me is not okay with where I am and yet part of me is. It has been weighing on me so much lately. I feel like I'm just stuck in a rut. Then today, the preacher speaks about exactly that. He tells us to say "It could be worse." Well yeah, it could be worse, you are right. He said we are in too much of a hurry to get to where we are going and we don't enjoy the journey. Okay, I get it, I need to stop and smell the roses. Yet, I understand what he is saying and I understand that I need to see that this journey isn't on my time, but God's time. What should take 11 days could take 39 years. I need to grow and learn and really embrace the journey instead of trying to make it so quickly til the end. God knows what he is doing, and although I find myself constantly wondering "when will it ever happen for me or will it ever happen for me" I have to embrace the fact that it might or it might not but God knows what he is doing and I have to learn to be okay with that and embrace the journey. I have to embrace being stuck in the inbetween. It's not about how fast I get there, it is about who I become along the way. Time In Between
