Let life come

by 31. August 2010 16:55

Its been a while since I have written a blog entry. I think I was so tied up in life that it just slipped away.

Life is funny that way. Just when we think we have it figured out, something new comes along. Sometimes I hit these life patches and I shake with frustration, fear or anger. I don't want them right then. Isn't that the truth, they never come when I want them. But should they? What would life be like if we made the decisions about what came next. I know my knee jerk response is that it would be perfect, but then I think, and maybe it wouldn't.

I start to think about what makes us who we are. What builds our character? What builds perseverance? I think back in my life and those things have never come out of a good stretch. See my growth has always come out of a situation that I did not want. If everything was easy, I wouldn't be half the man I am today.

So bring it on. Let life come with every challenge it can muster up.

One of the stressors for me that comes and builds character and perseverance is change.  Somehow, one way or another, my life will probably change this month. I mayl have a new position where I am currently employed and go frm 24hrs/week to 40 hrs/week.Iam applying for a job in Columbus this month (God willing) and I have just started making changes in my eating habits and exercise regime.  So change for me is here and it is scary.  While I have never wanted wanted to live in a comfortable rut, too much change at once can possibly bring about my symptoms.  I do well with bipolar unless I am under stress.  It seem that stress is about to reoccur in my life.  I am glad I am doing all I can to take care of myself during this time.  Waiting also builds patience in me.  I have been in this position enough times to know that I am God's responsibility, He will do what's best for me, and He will continue to open and close all the right doors.  This gives me peace as I wait and contemplate the possible changes in my life.  In the meantime, I continue to take care of my self.  Kelley
