Dear Drivers or soon to be Drivers, road construction is not fun.<\/p>\n
The other day, I was driving down the road in Pickens and they were repaving both sides of the road at the same time. For those of you that aren\u2019t driving yet, this can be super annoying. First of all, there is no place to go. Then, they block off roads you always need to go down, and worse than that, the little orange cones are everywhere! The cones alone make me nervous. Then, if your car is clean, it\u2019s going to get rocks all over it and black dust from the machines and such, and overall, it\u2019s just annoying. It takes an extra 15-20 minutes to get through each mile and sometimes \u2013 it confuses your GPS so much you just want to cry.\u00a0 Not to scare you, but if you live in a bigger city than Pickens, I can imagine it’s a lot worse. Therefore, I live in Pickens. Ok, so that maybe my description was a little dramatic, but the point is, it takes time to get through the rough patches. There are obstacles you have to maneuver around, and sometimes, there are even red flags\u00a0 or signs telling you to stop and wait or yellow signs telling you to slow down. Drivers, you can’t avoid this…there will always be constructions zones in life.<\/p>\n
Sound familiar? Road construction is just like life. Rough patches take time, they take red signs telling you to stop, yellow signs telling you to slow down while others pass by, and even little orange cones for you to maneuver around before you get through the rough patch. But luckily, it ends. And when road construction finally ends, the road is so smooth and amazing! It’s just like you get to glide through life again. But be warned, after a few million steps on that same road, construction will be back. So believe in the good times, they are coming, and when you struggle through construction, stay strong, smooth roads aren’t too far away. The construction, the struggles, the pain that you are going through today, right now, is working it\u2019s way out. Maybe you\u2019re at the red sign waiting for God to telling you when to move forward. Or maybe your stuck in traffic behind hundreds of other people that seem to be passing on by like nothing is wrong in their world. Either way, whatever obstacle or cone you are trying to get around, remember to focus on God. Focus on the Finish line, the ONE reason you are here, and the obstacles don\u2019t seem so bad, they just remind you that God is molding you into the person He wants you to be.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.\u201d<\/em> Collossians 3:1-3<\/p>\n Stay strong ladies!<\/p>\n Construction is almost over!<\/p>\n May God Bless you and Show you His Grace every day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Drivers or soon to be Drivers, road construction is not fun.
