Pause & Enjoy the Moments Along the Journey

The past month for me has been pretty crazy, loss of loved one, illness, new job, and working hard on other goals. It’s been crazy and at some points a blur. I’m sure you have had moments in your life similar to this when you there are so many things coming your way, good and bad. Well, that’s been my life and yesterday during my devotional time I was reminded to find the small victories along the way. So many times, in our journey of life we move in autopilot and often miss out on the small, good things that happen along the way, like finding a great parking spot, passing an important test, or enjoying a wonderful meal. How often do we actually stop, pause, and enjoy the moment? Many times we just move on to the next thing, but today, I’m challenging you to pause and enjoy the moments along the journey.

As I shared, I recently got a new job and there were points when I’m not sure I fully enjoyed the moment. But yesterday I recognized, I needed to do better and I actually sat and thought about the journey to getting my job and how great it was for me personally but also, how God was in the process. Many times when we miss the time of pausing, we forget how God was apart of the process. We miss recognizing how God ordered all the steps and how he is always and continually working things out for our good. So, your challenge if you should accept it is to take time to pause and enjoy every moment even the small victories. You’ll become so much more grateful to God. Perhaps each day we should pause for 2 minutes and consider the small and even big victories in your day. Journaling about these moments would be even greater. #pauseandenjoythemomentsalongthejourney
