Life lesson #135

Life’s Uncertainty

Just think for a second. If everything in life was scripted, known ahead of time, or planned out, we would be so incredibly bored. We wouldn’t know the feelings of excitement or even disappointment. Although it may seem like we wouldn’t want to experience disappointment, it allows us to grow and reach new levels in our walk along the “life” road.

My life at the moment seems a little upside down. That’s the feeling when you think you are comfortable in a certain situation or circumstance and suddenly its not what you think. Upside down. I really felt my life was running in a good direction. But it was actually wasn’t. I relied on others for my happiness. I looked for confirmation from others and when it went away, I felt alone and unhappy. That’s not me. That’s not what I do but it happened. I am that joyful person that always pushed through the problems that life presented me.

But now something amazing happened. I was delivered. And not in the sense that you think when a preacher says the word, but I was really taken out of a situation and brought back to the best place. I think I was honestly too weak to say that my life wasn’t in order. The Lord delivered me from the situation.

Following the Lord isn’t easy but its so worth it. Even when it seems like the world around you is crumbling, He is there and will always be there. It’s awesome to know He’s there for me.

I like. I like the fact that you are relying on Jesus to take you out of situations and that your joy and encouragement are coming from Him. Hopefully soon we can talk and you can fill me in on the details.
