I live near an interstate. I drive this road nearly every time I go into town, it's how I get - well..almost everywhere. I'm not the only one using this road though, millions of other American's drive this road as well and it is not unusual to see license plates from other states, especially around holidays or during the busy summer months.
The other day as I headed into town again I looked at the car next to me, its license plate from out of state, and wondered where that person was going. To me, these road signs tell me that my exit is coming soon and they take me to various sections of the nearby city. I wonder though, what does this road look like to other people?
Is it a hotel stop on a long trip? Another mindless sign they pass on the long way to wherever or does it mark that flurry of excitement that tells you "I'm almost there!"
That's a little bit how life is isn't it? Even here, on this crazy fertility journey.
I'm preparing to take an exit, I've seen the signs and I know it isn't too far away. The flurry of excitement is stirring within me.
But some of you are still on a long journey. You have miles and miles ahead of you. Sometimes you get excited because you know you're headed somewhere, and sometimes you get a little crazy. Soon enough though, your exit will pop up and you'll look back and wonder how you possibly made it - the road was so long!
Some of you have hit major pot holes and had to stop for repairs, take detours, or even been in major accidents. Sometimes it seems it will never end.
But you'll be there, I know it. And all the while we're cheering for you, praying for you, loving you, and knowing that one of these days you'll be there. You'll be home.
The road looks different for all of us, the signs mean different things. Sometimes we need different maps to take us different directions - but all in all, we're all on the same crazy road.
