Journey Day 176

The meantime... what is the meantime? The meantime is the time period in our lives that we consider to be transitional. For example "I want to be married with 8 kids, but in the meantime I'm going to go to college and get a job." or "I want to be a missionary in the Sudan, but in the meantime I'm going to work and attend church." In our minds the meantime is just a time waster to get us to where we really want to be. HOWEVER we are missing the beauty of this time in our lives. The time between when we are young, and when we are where we want to be, but during this time we grow the most and transform into who God has us to be. This time is SO incredibly key! So in the meantime, read your bible, pray continually, seek God's face every moment, go overseas, help your downcast brother or sister, road trip across country, read new books, and learn new skills. Don't think of the "meantime" as a filler, think of it as an amazing part of our journey!!
