there are moments when you realize that life is never what you expect it to be.
what you think is the hardest part of life, really is the greatest...
and what you think is the greatest, is really the hardest...
not the worst, mind you, but just hard.
and sometimes, the greatest is just the greatest and the hardest is the hardest...
you tend to take things for granted, because what you thought you could rely on, what you could count on, really isn't as steadfast as you thought.
but you push on, because the second you stop, is the second you concede that it is over. you push on because you believe in what you had, because you believe you still have it...
but the possibilities lurk in the corners, reminding you that nothing is for certain, weighing and turning down those corners...
making that smile falter...
but you make up your mind, and just go. it is the decision, the choice, that is important - and the best you can do is make your decision and pray that God takes your where you hope...
the truth is, He will take you where He thinks is best, based on the choice you made... (if you think He left you behind, wasn't it really more like you choosing to stay?)
but I digress...
the path to follow will have its borders, its hills, its holes, and its turns...
it will be steep, it will be flat, it will be smooth, it will be rough...
but the path has an end, and you have a destination... you know where you want to be or you have an idea what you are looking for...
God will lead you... you just need to open your heart and mind, because sometimes, what you want and what you need maybe right in front of you...
waving flags and firing flares...
but you just see the leaves for the trees...
... ... ...
but then again...
that's just me... Read more.
