Hubs

When my best friend flew out to visit me one year she had a layover in Dallas. It was really odd because she lives EAST of Texas and she was flying EAST of her state to mine. So basically she had to fly out west to fly east.

When you are flying from one city to another sometimes you have to take the long way by stopping in a layover city. The layover city is a hub to get you to the location you want.

A few months ago I read a blog post by Steven Furtick called "Hubs."

He explains that "there are very few non-stop flights to God's will." At times in your life, you're waiting in the hub. You're on a layover that will last a certain amount of time.

Sometimes, to us, it makes NO sense why you are still in the hub. But Pastor Furtick says, "there's a purpose to every hub God takes you to."

I'm still trying to understand the purpose of being what I consider "stuck in the hub." I've said it before -- I am not happy here. I am ready to start fresh somewhere else. Do something different.

And here I still am.

I know my next destination is ahead of me. I just don't know how long my layover in "the hub" will be.

Until then, my focus is to discern His will and DO it.
