To find what you seek in the road of life,the best proverb of all is that which says:"Leave no stone unturned."- Edward Bulwer Lytton
I can honestly say that I am trying to abide by this, currently. I feel as if I pass up the stones too quickly, the ones left behind aren't turned. We seem to frolic through life and in situations, we opt to chose one thing or the other- almost like an ultimatum.
I'm having a hard time grasping the concept of everything around me. One day I'll get everything, and another, I'm completely lost. I feel like God has set this path for me, to let me know that It's Okay. It's okay to fall. It's okay to take chances. It's okay to try something new. It's OKAY to be open-hearted. It's okay. Everything's okay.
With this, I know it's okay to take chances. Who said they're guaranteed happiness? If not that, it's satisfaction with peace. Knowing that you tried is more rewarding than the actual victory of a battle.
If I could just let my Life set in itself, and let it unravel slowly, I wouldn't feel so stressed all the time. Wondering and hoping when some things will fall into place, is not the way to live. Not saying that this includes prayers, it doesn't. Praying is actually what has gotten me through my struggles. In those dark yet quiet moments, I hear the whispers of reassurance. If we wonder and hope, I honestly don't know where that'll take us. But I know for a fact, if we Pray through it, God will speak to us and nourish us with his Unfailing Love. Overcoming my battles is one thing, but what are battles without fight and chaos? You know, we don't always get our way THAT easily. With hard work, comes true reward- and I understand.
So, in this season, I have slowly but surely learned to Let go, and Let God. I am challenging YOU to take on this challenge with me. Let go, and Let God do His Will. Set down your worries and leave it up to God, for in His will, the destined will be done. I truly, truly, believe that His judgement is for what is right, whether we think otherwise or not.
Currently, going through the mixed emotions of everything in life, especially everything that has to do with school, I am slowly letting go. Not meaning that I don't care, but meaning that I CARE ENOUGH to Let God take on this course with me. That in His will, I will conquer this struggle; and whether I walk or fall, it's another lesson I have yet to learn. But through everything, I have promised to carry this Gracefully, as I know that's what Jesus would do. To do things out of Love. No matter enemy or friend, we pray for them, and love them all the same. You know what I mean?
I know it's a bundle of words, may be repetitive..or not, but I hope you get my point.
Always,
Mariann
