Life has a way of "getting in the way" of what you truly want to do...sigh...heavily. But that is what life does, it goes on each day whether I am ready for it or not. Doesn't matter if I feel like I can't keep up, or process all the events of the day, that quickly turns into a week. Work, people, events, you try to "squeeze" in you, meaning something you would enjoy. I try, I do, but doesn't seem to be enough for me. Like sitting outside in the evening, which I am doing right now. The sounds of nature fill the air, the breeze picks up, all right the bugs are getting a little annoying now. Time is short, fleeting, I'm getting older, we all are, and do. I can fight it. But how do you fight it? I'm thinking instead to go with the flow, has much as I can...to let go of the things that I have no control over. Take the load I carry off and lay it down, let it go. I can do that with God, should be enough, sometimes it is, sometimes....it's not. That's hard. But I find I just need to sit, ponder upon His word, pray, let Him speak to me, and remember....in quietness and peace will be my strength, when I am weak, He is strong. He will never give me anymore than I can handle. Take that Lord which I can't put into words, that I carry, that burdens me so. You know, you know all things, You know me, where I am, where I'm going, and where I've been. And you care, you know how to make it work together for my good, to make sense of my life and make it into something of worth. Equip me to do the hard things that seem to be in my life. That take ME, use me up, and seem to leave me lay....Bring the blessings, the good, I pray to drink the cup that is not bitter, but sweet. I know we must have trials and hard things to make us into that person of worth, having character, value, and to be able to help others who are traversing there own path. We all have one, good, bad, bitter, sweet, let it not be in vain, and help me, us, to not miss what we were created to be and do, and let it not miss us....thank you Lord, I love you....Amen
So, have a great week, take time for something you enjoy, that is just for you. I did a pedi tonight and a great food massage, yes! Myself...
