Are We There Yet?
Last year, for Spring Break, we took the girls to Disney World. It was their first time ever, and our first time as adults. Of course, we got the usual backseat inquiry, “Are we there yet?” from each of them from time to time. Each time, we asked them to keep their faith in us, promising them that the end of the journey would be worth it. I can only imagine how hard it could be for the Lord’s people to keep their faith in the unknown, only going off what Moses could promise them.
Even though God had shown them, through Moses, to just have faith in Him, and He would get them to the promised land, their faith wavered. Thankfully, my husband and I didn’t have to pull out any snakes to get the girls to stay excited on our trip, and when we did get there, we all had a magical time. Before we were blessed with these two backseat critics, we prayed and prayed and prayed some more that God would make us parents. The journey was much longer than we expected, and there were times both of us questioned if He was ever going to give us what our hearts begged for.
Then, something unthinkable happened, and, for a moment, we truly believed our future was not going to include children. Yet, somehow, we kept our faith, and we trusted the journey and the path given to us. That path took us to where we needed to be, and a couple of years after we thought all hope was lost, we made it to our “promised land” of parenthood. ~Heather Vaught~
