Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale

"Finding faith and losing eyes when world's collide.....We're just not right and compromise is wrong, seems out of sight in this place we belong.....Giving everything for love and I'm finding out that it's not enough."

These are simple words to a Plumb song that I am fond of. As I listened to it today I realized that it has spiritual application as well as perhaps a relational correlation. I found myself remenescing today about a life I used to lead. It was not so far off from the one I find myslef in these days; just some different characters and a different setting, but the plot lines tend to be the same many days. The funny thing is that although from an outsider it woudln't look like I have changed much through all of it...but the truth is, I dont think I even know that girl anymore. On one hand I am so thankful. I know that the new "characters" and new setting of my life now is Exactly where the Lord would have me, but now I have to figure out the ins and outs of the girl who is playing me in this story now, vs the old one who I almost feel as though died and came back as someone totally new.

I would say that this time around things would be easier, better, I would be more wise in certain situations and learn from past mistakes; but so far that has not been the case at all. If anything life has gotten harder and more complex and I just keep waiting for this amazing climax in this fairy-tale that will slowly resolve and lead to the Happily ever-after. But instead I find myself drifting in and out of conflicts over and over again, resolving them and then before a climax can even come, sliding right back into more conflict. Also I am unsure of the genre of this story, most often I feel as though I am somewhat like the Ben Stiller Character in Meet the Parents who just cant catch a break or get things the way he wants them to be. The rest of the time I think I am a combination between Bridget Jones and Josie Geller<>. But the great thing about Fairy-tales/Romantic Comedies is that you know they all end happy. Once you get past all of the drama and humiliation there is a light at the end. The girl gets the guy....She lands that Job....she redeems herself of previous mishaps......she sees that Her God, her Wonderful Maker looks into her eyes and says "Well done my good and Faithful servant!" and it makes it all worth it! ..And then they live Happily Ever After!
