Welcome friend. It has been a while between posts. I have committed to blogging with purpose and when the time is right for each new post or as I like to refer to them…the next chapter.
I’m glad you are here right now, at this moment, reading this post. Mainly because lately I’ve been in a place or space where I can’t quite figure out what I am feeling inside. Honestly, most days it is a mixed bag of emotions, strong thoughts, sadness, and sometimes joy. Whew, just gathering the words to describe this mental space was A LOT! Have you been there?
As I sat down with my computer to start this chapter of the blog, it hit me that it felt like I was wading through water. It’s the feeling of resistance as if I am doing water aerobics. I am feeling the effects of my efforts to keep pressing forward with my life (the good stuff), all the while a series of really sad events have my body in a slow-motion press (hard stuff).
How do you manage life when you meet the resistance that affects your progress? How do you wade through the water when it feels like it is rising and it becomes harder for your feet to keep moving forward? These questions are rhetorical and meant for you to begin that introspection.
During this space of life, my introspection involves making a choice to believe that God has good plans for me, to bring me to my expected end. If that means he has to fireman carry me through this deep water, so be it. I choose to depend on him to do that. I also realize that when I pour out my love onto other people during their tough situations I do not become self-absorbed. It helps me to see my purpose here on this earth. Sometimes I wonder about my purpose. That is usually when God steps in to show me. He’s awesome for sure.
Talk back to me in the comments below. Let me know about your introspection process.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for this opportunity to be transparent with my readers and with myself. I pray that you touch the heart of every person that reads this post. Show them the steps needed to grow stronger in you and stronger in the individual you created them to be. Amen
