Enjoy the journey

I don't know about you but, I am the kind of person that when I fail on doing something I criticize myself a lot but when I achieve something I can hardly congratulate myself. And like I'm always looking foward to where am I going to be next? what i'm going to do?

I realize a couple of months ago that that's the most miserable way of living, because you are never enjoying! I found out that the target, objetive, it's always going to move until the day you die. 

On the month of April I took my English Cambridge Exam and my dream was to get to the level B2, straight just get there and on these month (july) I received my results and i got B1 while many of my twin sister got the level B2 (ouch).

I was maddd, I was upset. I mean why did the Lord would do these to me? And one saturday night at dinner my sister said these words:

You know I think you just gotta be thankful with what the Lord gives you now. You just  have to learn to enjoy what you have now so that you will enjoy what the Lord will give you on the future. (in spanish obviously) 

I reflected on those words and then God showed me: 1 Thessalonians 5: 12-24

• 13 Always be happy.
• 14 Talk to God at all times.
• 15 Thank God for everything. This is what God wants you to do through Christ Jesus.
• 17 Do not despise people who speak words from God.
• 18 But test everything that is said. Keep what is good.
• 21 It is God who calls you, and he can be trusted. He will surely do what he has said.

Sometimes it's hard, Jesus said it wouldn't, but He said that you wouldn't have to do these alone. Meanwhile let's learn to sing in the darkest night, let's enjoy the journey because (if the Lord has the rudder) we know we are going in the right direction. 

Don't let the devil to distract you from enjoying your journey, just listen to the driver, our God.
