Being in the middle of here and there can be tough. Regardless of the process, circumstance, or situation, being in the middle can be frustrating. You’re happy that you’ve begun, but the end seems too far away. Your focus may not be as sharp, you feel tired, lazy, and angry that your goal, dream, or promise has not materialized.

Sadly, this middle ‘place’ is filled with aborted dreams, goals, and promises. Many become agitated with waiting and want to see change…NOW…RIGHT NOW!!! It’s at this point that we make a decision (God hasn’t approved) just to ‘move’ in some direction – usually with dire results.

Between ‘here’ and ‘there’ is God’s opportunity to ‘work’ something in you, around you, and through you. His ways and thoughts are not like our own (Isaiah 55:9), so trying to figure out what He’s doing beforehand is futile unless He reveals it. This ‘place’ is often filled with more questions than answers, leaving you with nothing more than the goal, dream, or promise – that’s all you need.

Keeping the goal, dream, or promise before you allows your focus (and your decisions) to stay on course. Even though you may not know the when, where, why, to your expected ‘end,’ you can remain faithful where God has placed you; thankful of the blessings around you; and remain focused and encouraged. You may need to fight off the occasional depression, laziness, and indifference, but this is the perfect opportunity to build the discipline, perseverance, and dedication to God that will see you through.

You can make it ‘there!!!’
