Everything rises up to a great crescendo.
If this didn't happen I suppose we'd be dead.
The ebb and the flow of our lives is natural
so why do we have such difficulty accepting that?
The tension of everyday living in the "furnace"
is not without it's glistening luster after a trial.
We will never be the same after our "tried" encounter
with God's lessons. He is behind it all, He says, "Yea" or "Ne".
The struggle "kicking against the goads", is very much
a part of this journey, though I'd prefer to "skip" that altogether.
Thankfully, I am maturing, though in the midst of the tumult
I cannot see that. It is only in the aftermath. Encouragement returns!
Breathe. For many of us it is a great challenge to embrace our feelings.
We put all kinds of "expectations" on ourselves that add to the difficulty
of "feeling". If only I could remember to BREATHE.
Each decade can be a new beginning. A time for a complete change.
Just when I think I am coming into myself, time marches on, and
I feel as If I'm coming into myself, "again".
The inner struggle of this life can become very overwhelming.
What does such a sensitive heart do? I see so much brokenness
on the city streets, and it hurts so much! Lord, please take me up.
I am here for a purpose. Though sometimes, the pressure becomes
so great. Pending dreams of so many decades, isn't it time to pursue?
You cannot touch what you do not grasp. God is ever faithful. Selah.
