So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.”
2 Corinthians4:16–18MSG

This is just too hard. But is it? The path is tooooooooo long. Really?

What if you ask yourself? Self, “What is the next step?” “What are the next three steps?

What if we look at this task like a trip, a journey? And not just any journey, but a real journey like I used to take with my father-in-law.

You may be to young to remember when a trip required some real planning. Planning beyond earning enough money to make the trip to your destination and return home.
