I Think I Need an Easy Button

I was venting to my cousin and she was being sweet and listening. Then she asked me a simple but profoundly thought-provoking question. Hey inquiry, "So if you could press the easy button, how would things look differently, after you did?" Well, that was actually a loaded question for me.

I feel like I've been in a sort of storm for a tad too long. I don't think I've been whining and complaining constantly. In fact, every day, I acknowledge that I am beyond blessed. When I say that God has faithfully shown up every time I needed Him too, I am being extremely honest. I also am keenly aware that this process is necessary for me to become who He wants me to be, or to be prepared for what He has for me to do.  Still, I long for my burdens to be lighter or more specifically, non-existent. 

An easy button would negate the process God has designed for me. Honestly, I don't want to miss the process because I know the test will eventually pop up again. Without going through the process, no matter how painful, I will not be prepared for the blessings that are surely in store for me. See, I know blessing will come, it's just the getting to and through. 
I am writing my "other side of the easy button" list in my journal. I'm dating it. I promise I'll share it with you soon. Keep in mind, the Bible says that we need to "write the vision and make it plain." When there's no vision, things perish. Be strong and know that there is always victory waiting on the other side of the trial/chaos/overwhelming situation.  Take care.

In Diva Love,
