The Journey We’re On—Already Good, Yet Greater Things Await

We’ve all heard it said—“The best is yet to come.” It’s a phrase that brings comfort. Hope. A gentle push to keep going. But here’s the question… are we actively walking toward the best, or are we just sitting still, hoping it shows up?

Sometimes, we treat God's promises like waiting at a bus stop—doing nothing, just hoping the next big thing rolls by. But faith isn’t passive. It’s trust in motion. It's praying, moving, listening, and obeying—even when the road ahead is blurry.

The best God has for us isn’t just about what’s next—it’s also about what’s happening now. The quiet moments. The stretching seasons. The hard decisions. All of it is shaping us for the promise.

So yes, friend, the best is yet to come—but don’t miss what God is doing while you wait. Take the next step, even if it’s small. Stay faithful, even when it’s hard. Because the best often grows in the soil of obedience.

And when you keep moving with Him?

You won’t just find the best—you’ll become it.

Your Journey was Never Meant to be Just Okay

 Somewhere along the way, many of us started settling.

We tell ourselves, “This is fine.”
“My life is okay.”
“My faith is okay.”
“My joy… okay enough.”

But deep down, we know something's missing.

We weren’t made for “just okay.”
We were made for purpose.
For passion.
For peace that runs deeper than a checklist life.

Sometimes we settle because we’re tired.
Other times, we’re scared of failing—or of hoping.
But God never called us to a life of just surviving.
He calls us to life abundant (John 10:10).

Yes, the road can be hard. Yes, there are valleys.
But in Christ, there’s more than just getting by.
There’s growth. There’s joy. There’s strength.
And there’s a calling on your life too important to live it half-awake.

So let this be your reminder:
You don’t have to settle for just okay.

You were made for more.

The Journey of How We See Things

 

Some people can be given a field full of roses and only notice the thorns.

Others might be handed a single weed—and still see the beauty in its bloom.

It’s all about perception.

The way we view life doesn’t just affect our thoughts—it affects our joy. Our peace. Our gratitude.

One person sees a rainy day and feels stuck, discouraged.
Another sees a moment to rest, reflect, and breathe.
One sees failure.
Another sees growth.
One focuses on what’s lost.
Another gives thanks for what’s left.

Gratitude is not born from perfection.
It grows in the cracks of real life—
In the pain, the waiting, the uncertainty.
It grows when we choose to look again… and see differently.

Because joy isn’t about what we have.
It’s about what we see, and how we see it.

So today, slow down.
Look beyond the surface.
Maybe your life isn’t what you hoped for right now. Maybe it feels heavy, or hollow.

But even in this, there is something worth noticing.
A small grace. A quiet beauty. A reason to whisper, thank You.

You may not be standing in a garden, but if you’re willing to look—
You just might find a wildflower.
