If you can relate to one thing with most people, its the loss of a loved one. This morning my step-grandfather passed away unexpectedly. The sadder part was, they were going to visit my family this upcoming week. Its one of life's ways of saying, "Time is never guarenteed."
I noticed how even though I was sad, God was doing something. I was seeing joy through the pain. I knew who to go to. I knew what to do, I had to lean on my "Dad" and just express my feelings. I didnt cry, but I was saddened and wrote how I felt. I took it as a reminder as why every moment we spend on earth counts. Because even though we are healthy, we may suddenly have a problem and never know. This only added to my burdens this week, but I refuse to make this a pity party blog. This is about growth, and growth hurts.
It's proven. If it doesnt hurt, its not stretching. For instance muscles. If you dont work them properly and hard enough, they will never grow stronger. The harder you push, the more gains you receive! (all within reason). I take all thats happened to me recently as that. It's making me stronger. It's breaking me, and God is building me back up in humility and prayer through Him. A quote from a poem I wrote is fitting more and more everyday! "It's not about what we face, but what He does through us." Following God never means going the safe and easy route; in fact the more I follow, the more I find it just gets harder! It breaks more and more from our hard hearts to a place where we recognize breathing is a feat allowed and gracefully given from God. I came here because God called me, and I asked to grow stronger.
Well I dont want to go in a rant. I have work. Phone lines are working again.
Peace, Love, Joy
