Before we were born we spent about 9-10 months in our mother’s womb.  I have yet to meet a human being who came into this world without that.  It is essential that we have that incubation time to prepare us for what is coming next.  Why is it that when we get into that new experience that we expect things to happen quickly?  In the same way that we needed time to grow lungs and arms and legs and develop a heart, we need time to prepare for what is coming next in our lives.  If we are gathering ideas and learning along the way then we are in the process. The process of attaining necessary skills or experiences that will make us ready to handle whatever comes next. Each step is valuable.  Can you imagine if you had rushed out of the womb without your lungs being fully developed?  You would not have lasted long.  If a caterpillar is rushed out of his cocoon, his butterfly wings will not be ready to fly.  Trusting in the process and understanding that the attainment of the goal is not in the final outcome but in the process of attaining.  What if we put on blind folds when we got in the car because we were only interested in getting to our destination?  We would most likely crash the moment we pulled out onto the street and then where would we be?  It can be frightening sometimes to walk through the journey, but that is what we have each other and God for.  We are never truly alone because if we open our eyes we will notice that on the path are people who are doing exactly the same.  My prayer for you today is that you may see the gifts of attaining the goal that you are working towards, not just the attainment of the goal itself.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
