Say won't you Say

Stuck in a Moment

I find myself wishing many times to go back to times in my life where things were so comfortable and the moments where everything seemed to fall perfectly into place and not a care in the world. I can think of maybe a dozen times in my life where I have felt this way with friendships, family, with the Lord, and with relationships; that all of my needs were met in these areas and just thinking that things couldnt possibly get much better. If it were up to me I would hand pick the details of my life, including who I would choose to love and be loved by and who my friends would also choose to love. But, fortunately the Lord is not as ordinary and predictable as I would be in choosing these things. As a control freak, God's timing and choices in regards to relationships sometimes drive me crazy! Learning that things have to change in relationships is equally annoying many times. When I take my mind back to these moments in time where I was the most content it was really all about me and my needs being met, but i'm learning that not everything is about me. In my friendships having to watch them make decisions that I don't necessarily agree with and choices that I fear will hurt them, is extremely hard, but I need to learn that its ok to take risks. Change in my experiences has always proven to have an amazing outcome after an adjustment period. It's hard for me to wrap my mind around new things, I like things how I like them; familiar and comfortable. When something or someone comes in and tries to shake up the things that I have found security and contentment in, I tend to get a little defensive. I have learned over the last few years that change is unavoidable from here on out, and I need to accept it and embrace it. In going back to those moments of Bliss, It reminds me that there will be more of those to come as well, and then change will come again; its a cycle that will follow us for the rest of our lives. For now I am going to enjoy these moments of rest and relaxation approaching with Spring Break this week. Even God took a rest on the 7th day, and so should we take a week to revamp and recharge our minds! Enjoy!
