THE BUSY ROAD OF LIFE
I remember being terrified of driving a car some years ago, especially on busy roads where big trailers were involved. It felt like there was no space for me to fit in, and everyone seemed to be too busy finding their way to their desired destination. But all that changed when my family got a car, and talking to my church member Kehinde made me feel like I could overcome my fear.
So one day, I stood by the roadside for an hour watching as women confidently drove past with the big trailers on the road. and I saw many other women driving regardless of the busy road and everyone are finding their space and their lane, I also saw some trailers on the road yet these women are driving side by side with the big trailers, they were not afraid of the trailers, the trailers and the other cars were all going on their lane on the same road, wow, I said to myself, why should I be afraid? If these other women are driving on the busy roads along side with other cars and the big trailers that mean I can find my ways too, it just for me to maintain my lane and be focus on where I am going, the big trailers not withstanding, we can all move on the road simultaneously without hindering one other. This was my turning point, thank God my husband was not in town, then I called a brother in my church Afolayan, to teach me how to drive and 14 years later, I am still driving and maintaining my lane
Here is the Lesson in My Story๐
Life is just like these busy roads. It can be overwhelming and crowded, but there's always a lane for everyone to follow on the way to their destination.
Sometimes it can be overwhelming , we might find it difficult to find our ways, sometimes we might be confused of where to turn to or the route to take, the big names in your field might intimidate you from finding your way ( Just as I was sacred of the big trailers) but the good new is, the road of life is for everyone regardless of how busy it seems, everyone has their path and their lane, but it is your responsibility to find your lane on this busy road and be courageous and focus regardless of the busyness, do not allow anyone or anything to intimidate you, keep moving on your lane and you will surely get to your destination.
Many might be doing the same thing you are doing, they might have gone far ahead of you, you might be feeling that their is no space for you anymore, I tell you, there is a space for you, keep moving on your lane, the road of life is wild enough for everyone. No one can stop the other
So my advice to you this week is to venture out onto the busy road of life. Stay focused on your lane, keep your eyes on your goals, and keep driving forward regardless of any challenges or distractions that may come your way. With determination and focus, you too will arrive at your desired destination.
Scripture: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us" - Hebrews 12:1 NIV
I love you
