Watching, waiting, anticipating, nervous–the road less traveled can be daunting and a little terrifying at times. There is a reason why “small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:14). I feel like I am in this repeated cycle. I KNOW I am not in a wilderness, I don’t doubt God’s power and presence in my life. I know the end of a thing will truly be better than the beginning of a thing, but I admit, I am tired, weary even.
I feel like I am not learning my lesson fast enough or that I keep making the same mistakes over again. Confession–I struggle with consistency and follow-through in some areas of my life. I start off hard and strong, going all in, having great ideas, executing tasks judiciously….then, I fall off. Dragging my feet a bit more, missing self-imposed deadlines, losing passion. That is the purpose of the narrow path I am on–honing and focusing my energy. Removing distractions, things I don’t need to work on or be involved in. Helping me to focus on what I love to do–write, read, study, pray. Making sure all things align with what brings me joy and furthers His Kingdom.
This has been and is a hard season. The path IS narrow and thankfully, I am not walking this path alone.
