October reflections

Normally I like to use my pages to share the fun things I have done, or events taking place, or time with my very special family and friends.

Today I am just going to reflect on a truth that just hit home with me within the last few weeks.  I have been looking at a certain situation through a distorted glass, and even though I can’t say I have made my peace with it, I am certainly trying to take myself seriously.

And before you get excited, no, I have not been considering marriage.  But in reading that little truth about the Marriage Box, I have compared it to another part of my life.

A very wise, wonderful, Godly woman – my dear sister – always says that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.  I really did get that, but I just kept thinking each time was different.  And now I see it was because of MY behavior, MY attitude, and MY choices that it was turning out exactly the same way every time. And ironically, it was sitting through the movie, THE WAR ROOM, that several amazing truths worked their way into my soul.

So I’m accepting responsibility, stepping up to the plate, and gently but firmly taking a different path.  It’s not bad, or heart-breaking, or distressing (at least I hope not).  But I’m hoping all of you who read this will pray that I can make good choices for the right reason, and not keep doing that same thing over and over. 

God is good, my friends are supportive and understanding, and my family agrees with my sister.  So thanks for your support, as I take that small step – in a different direction……..
