Wouldnโt it be nice if, just before seasons of growth, just as it starts to sprinkleโฆGod would turn on the windshield wipers and give us a road sign โ โRoad Work Ahead.โ
This picture feels like life sometimes. Rain tapping against the windshield. Wipers moving back and forth, trying to clear just enough so we can see whatโs in right front of us. The sky is gray. The road stretches out, but not far enough for comfort. And thenโthere it isโa simple sign warning that the spiritual work is coming.
How often do we wish growth came with that kind of clarity? Plain letters- right in our faces - prepare yourself work is coming.
A heads up before the hard conversation.
A warning before the heartbreak.
A sign before the stretching.
A flashing notice that says, โGET READY!โ
But what if the rain is the signโฆ
Maybe limited visibility is part of the trust.
BUT WHAT IF we embraced the โroad workโ instead of avoiding it.
God doesnโt always clear the storm... often instead he strengthens us through it, and strengthens our grip on him in the process.
Sometimes He lets the wipers move in rhythmโfaith, doubt, faith, doubtโclearing just enough for the next mileโฆ. Or just the next step to build our trust in Him.
Putting in the work is inconvenient.
It slows us down, or stops us all together.
It narrows our lanes, changes our crew.
It reroutes us, and changes our direction.
But it also repairs whatโs broken.
It smooths out our rough edges.
It prepares the way for what lies ahead.
So if you find yourself driving through a season where things feel under constructionโwhere old habits are being torn up, patience is stretched thin, comfort zones are being repaved, you find yourself outgrowing the places & things you once lovedโ take a deep breath and give yourself grace!
And pause because just maybe God did give you a sign.
Maybe the rain on the windshield and the slow progress forward are whispers saying:
โSpiritual Growth Ahead. Trust Me, Youโre Going To Make It Through It!โ
