Life tends to throw curve balls now and then and as the
saying goes when it rains it pours. At
the moment I am sitting here in a daze numb with being overwhelmed with life’s
happenings. Things have been piling on
with one thing after the other. At times
I just want to throw my hands up in the air and say I quit, enough already and
then out of nowhere a sense peace comes over me. Just when I think I had enough God reminds me
He is still there. In this life it is so
easy to focus on the negative that we tend to forget who is in control. I know in life that everything happens for a
reason and God will use everything for good and a greater purpose. I know this, but still it is hard to go
through. I can look back at other times
in my life when I was ready to say I quit and I can see how God was working it
all out. Don’t get me wrong when I say I
quit, it doesn’t mean life; it simply means I had enough of the situation.
Life is a crazy thing, we are here living and time goes by
so fast that if we don’t pay attention it slips right through our grasp. There are so many changes going on in my life
right now, but in some places I seem stuck.
It is kind of like that movie “Groundhog Day” He keeps waking up and
everyday it seems to be on replay. Life
sometimes gets stuck on auto pilot and I feel like I am going through the
motions. This is one of the worst
feelings there is. I don’t like being
stuck, I want to be able to enjoy life, my family, and all God has to offer
me.
It is kind of funny at the moment the house is silent except
for the clocking ticking in the background and our pug Molly snoring something
awful. Why is that we take life so
serious at times instead of just stopping for a bit. Life’s problems will be there after we take a
breath but will somehow be more manageable.
God has taught me a lot and continues to do so. However the one thing our relationship lacks
is me not taking the time to spend with Him.
I can continue to focus on the problem, but if I don’t focus on the
solution (God) than I am asking for a more stressful life. I’m not saying if you spend more time with
God everything will be prefect but you will be able to see more of His prefect
will. Life is full of choices and a
choice we have is to let life bet us down or go head on and as the say take
life by the horns. We have control of
one thing in life and that is our attitude and how we handle the
situation. So when life throws us lemons
are you going to pucker up with the thought of it being sour and miss out on
something sweet or are you going to make lemonade and enjoy
