You’re not late; you’re not early. You’re exactly where you need to be. Don’t rush the process; refining takes time. Stay with it a little longer; don’t skip ahead in line. You’re not late. There’s work that needs to be done. Pruning helps us to be good daughters and sons. It allows us to be better women to our man. It helps him to protect and keep us safe. Like only he can. It allows us to be better parents to our kids. It helps us to see the core of ourselves; to be better friends. You’re not late; you’re not early. You’re exactly where you need to be. Don’t compare yourself; this is your unique journey.
