All I'm trying to do is figure life out. What is anybody out there trying to do? With each new day I am given, the best possible goal for me is to seek God thoroughly in each aspect of my daily life. Why have I chosen to wake up with a bad attitude? Why have I chosen to carry it through the day? Why do I let things that I cannot change bother me the way they do?
Focus. Every minute a new start is made available to us. Every breath we take can lead us to the next, and can be filled with a confident hope that life can be better.
I do not have things figured out. I see that there is fulfillment in the kind of work I'm doing these days, I see that when my hands are busy with things the Lord wants of me, I feel satisfied, even if I don't have the things that most people think I ought. I have more "stuff" then I should. I have fondled more hearts then I should. I have made many mistakes and am paying for them dearly, and have left others to pay for them as well. All I know is that God can heal the broken hearted if we let Him. He will fix me, He will bring me to some point of understanding, or at least, acceptance if I cannot understand. God will carry me through tomorrow, through tonight, through the next hour, through my next breath. As long or as short as He wants to, but at least I know whose arms I'm in.
