Tapping My Fingers in Patience

to suspend yourself over the waters of the unknown is terrifying.
to stretch yourself so that your two hemispheres no longer are safe is nerve wracking.
to utter the words, "Your will, not mine", is enough to send chills to the bottom of your spine.
to abandon reason for the sake of faith is thought of to be naive.
and to scream when told to be silent is looked at as incompetent.

There are different seasons in our lives, we all can attest to that. There are seasons of happiness, struggle, mourning and seasons of confusion. Seasons where getting out of bed in the morning is easy and seasons where under the covers is the only save abode. Just like rain of November is drastically different that the warm rays of sun in July, our life seasons are never really similar.

That is okay.
That is normal.
That is good.

It is important to remember, when you are desperate to feel like you have meaning, from where are you getting your value; where do you find your self worth.
It easy to say you're happy when you're surrounded by friends who love you, you're happily dating, your grades are above average, work is good and your family life is at peace.
But what about when you feel alone, when you're sick and you are pullin' for C's.
What then?

Who are you running to?

It's okay to be sad, and it's okay to cry. Nevertheless, running shouldn't be your first thought.

Sit and wait patiently.

Some seasons are going to be more rough than the last.
"Your will, not mine".
scream them till it hurts.
or whisper them as your cry.
Just believe them.
