Where You Stand Says It All


Where You Stand Says It All
By Irma Givens

Once you have a thorough understanding of where you are in your journey, then & only then can you map your way to your destination.  Imagine, if you will, you standing on a two-lane, dark road in the middle of nowhere & your destination is Tomball, Texas.  How in the world will you get there if you have no idea where you stand? Food for Thought ~ Irma Givens

I've found myself at a crossroad many times in my life.  That moment when you really don't know whether to go left or right.  The fear of the unknown is standing there starring you in the face and you freeze in your tracks.  It's during those moments that I've had to be still & quiet, reflect on my journey and be responsible for the roads I've taken to this point.  It's easy to blame those around us and make excuses but the truth is the choices we make take us in specific directions and when we get to the crossroad, it's the opportunity for a self-check.  A time to evaluate where we've been, where we are and the choices that got us here.  Shake it off and decide where you want to go from here.

Once you know where you want to be (destination), you can decide which road will get you there.  Don't spend time worrying about the unknowns.  Life is filled with risks, options, winding roads, dirt roads, freeways and U-turns.  Take a deep breath, relax, say a prayer and take a leap of faith.

"Keep in mind, no matter where you are, there is a road that leads to your destiny...it's all in perfect divine order." - Irma Givens
