The first time I heard the advice, "Don't hog your journey", I thought to myself, do I have a journey? If I do, who am I hogging it from? Surly who and what I am today, aren't that important to anyone but me... right?
The more I thought about it, I became more convicted, so I prayed. After about two or so months I realized that my "Journey" is very important. It was laid out before me, even before I was born. (Psalm 139:16) Those days were known, and valued when I was a small cluster of cells, growing in my mothers womb. How can something not be valuable, when the God of all Creation maps it out before I even have a shape? I was awe struck, and chastised all at once, which is something only God and my Pappy have been able to do to me. How special am I, that God would chastise me?
In response to my questions, who and what am I hogging from, I have this simple answer...everyone and everything. I matter, because what I do today, will set in to motion tomorrow. I am valuable, because what I do to the least of these, I do unto God. I should share, because my children's days were laid out before God, when they were just a small cluster of cells in my womb. God fearfully and wonderfully made them, as he did me, and I would never waist such a precious gift as the one he gave me in those children. I will share my mistakes, my victories, my confusion and all of life's lessons with my kids. I will tell them how special they are, and I will share their journey with them, because my journey is what will mold theirs.
I have Victory in Christ, and if He is with me who can stand against me? Thank you Father, because you love my children, and you love me, and you put wonderful people in my life to help shape my journey.
