Signs

There has been a lot of discussion lately with those that I work with about signs. If you have never been to our building before and were to pull into the parking lot, you might not be sure which door is the main entrance to the building. There are eleven doors you could enter our facility through, but very few would get you to where you want to go because there are no signs telling you where to start. If you do manage to make your way into the main entrance there are no signs to tell you which direction to proceed to get to your desired destination. Our facility has had several additions in its history. The additions provided much needed space for additional ministries or the expansion of ministries, but they have not always provided an easy way to get to where you want to go. So, we have been discussing how to make it easier for those who are unfamiliar with our building to find where they want to go.

Life can be a little like our building. There are not a lot of signs to tell you how to get to where you want to go. Additions to your life can make it a little more difficult to get to where you want to go as well. If we are not intentional about where we want to go, life has a way of moving on without us. When we are intentional about where we are going, we will begin to pay attention to how to get there. There may be times when it seems like we are actually moving away from our intended goal, but because we have studied our routes, because we know where we want to end up, we know that this path will get us there.

There are rarely flashing neon signs in life that tell us that this s the right direction. However, there may be people in our life who know how to help us get to our intended destination. Around our office we all know how to get around our facility, our desire is to make it clear for those not familiar with our facility. I hope that there are people in your life, grandparents, coworkers, teachers, friends, neighbors, and family who know how to navigate through life and are able to make it clear to you how to navigate to your intended destination.
