The development process....

Goals are not reached in a day. They sometimes take months, years or even a lifetime. Think about it like this; sometimes we want our goals to be accomplished like we developed them in a microwave oven when goals that our substantial usually are developed in a slow-cooker (crock pot). What we learn while that goal is slow cooking or developing..... maturity, perspective, confidence, endurance and tenaciousness. Tests of time determine whether we can endure difficult seasons to be blessed in the fruitful ones. Those test of time also reveal our true nature and character, not immediately like the microwave but in due time.  Anyone is capable of putting on a good front.... it's when things are not going your way.... when they are taking longer than you expect..... when adversity comes....  how you deal with it that shows if you have what it takes to go the distance or if you are trying to circumvent the process to suit yourself in the shortest time possible.
