I want to be closer to the person I perceive as myself. Does this make sense?
I think we all have an idea of who we are, where we want to go, how we want to get there. Well, my friends, I know I'm on the right path for the first time in my life. I also know, that I am at a point along my path, where it narrows and is a bit tricky to manuever. I am a little nervous about tripping on rocks, logs, holes and such. In other words, it's gonna' get messy. I know I can do it, but there is that grumpy girl within quietly moping and haughtily telling me, "You'll never make it. Why don't you just turn back? Or better yet, just stay here, it's still comfortable here."
I want to ignore her, but dang it! She is kinda' right. I could just stay where I am. Stay comfortable. Pretend it's all good.
I've been trying to be more authentic. What a bad "catch phrase". More authentic, like God didn't already make us as authentic as possible?!?! Well, I am trying to live more carefully. I want to traverse this path like a pro, but I do think I might trip up a little.
Well . . .here goes. "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. . ."
Tripping and hurting sometimes doesn't mean you're on the wrong path -- it means you're ON a path and you're MOVING. That's all it means. People who stand still don't trip - but they don't go anywhere either.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love that you remind me of these simple things. I forget so easily how blessed I am. I seem to get caught on the hamster wheel of drama. I just need to remember to step off. :)
