The past month has not been an easy one. I do my very best to hide from the ghastly evil called "drama", but somehow, it always finds me. I guess that's high school for you.
Sometimes in life, things happen. Things that you don't want to happen. Things that you don't understand. Things that litteraly don't make sense. Things that make life hard. Things that just plain suck.
I have found that these "things" are hard to get around. In fact, you can't get around them. It's impossible.
Let me just pause for a moment before I continue this post. I am beginning to realize that basically everytime I blog, it has something to do with trusting in God. I try to be creative and come up with new topics, but for some reason I keep coming back to trust. Maybe because it's something I have been struggling with. maybe because I desperately need God's help in my life. Maybe because it's so important. Maybe because it's INCREDIBLY important. Maybe because it is a blatant sin to not trust God. Which leads me to my next point...
When these "things" come up in life, there are two things we can do. First and foremost, we MUST trust God. We must give everything to Him; the good things and the bad things, in the good times and in the bad times. He is our rock and comforter. The only real peace that we can find is through Him.
Now practically speaking, the second thing to do when drama arises is to simply (or not so simply) move on.
Move on?
Move on. Hmm, only one thing comes to mind...easier said than done.
It might be difficult, but when you really think about it, that's what you gotta do. I have found that the less attention I give to drama, the less often it finds me. However, that doesn't make the daunting task of moving on any easier. But there is one thing that makes it easier. There is one way to accomplish it...you guessed it...Trust. In. Jesus.
So after the drama and hard "things" in my life in this past month, I have decided to completely and fully give it over to God, let Him handle it, and move on.
Tomorrow is a new day filled with new blessings from my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am moving on. Onward and upward.
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22, 23
Moving on is very hard to do...especially when you still have the "issue" in your face. You're a brave young lady to be so introspective and mature to realize these things about yourself at such a young age. Believe me when I say, that there are many grown-ups never get this... I'm proud of you Kristen. Keep on, keeping on. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a hard thing to do and sometimes it seems impossible, but alas, it must be done. Thanks for your encouragement, Mrs. Wenzel! It really means a lot! Miss you guys :)
