I grew up about an hour or so from the beach in Southern California. 

Unless you know that you are going to the beach, it just feels like you are stuck in the worst freeway traffic of your life: standstill traffic with smog.

But then you turn a corner and there it is – the sand, the waves and the beauty of the beach.

My friend, you don’t know what this next year will bring.

The journey so far may have been difficult and you don’t have much hope for it.

Keep going.

“Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭25:4‬ ‭NLT‬

Don’t give up. 

There is more for you and for all you know, it may be just around the corner.

And it will be breathtaking.
