I was chatting with a friend the other day...she was being challenged to do something, but was hesitant to jump in, unsure of the best approach to set herself up for success. It's one of those - put yourself out there and hope they pick you - kind of situations. Part way through the discussion, I had a light bulb moment. You know, the ones where a thought pops into your head that's clearly not yours. What if God wasn't asking her to get the spot, rather He was asking her to go through the process. Often I get so focused on the destination that I forget the importance of what God is doing through the journey. By the end of the conversation, I felt good about the insight God had given me to share.
