It aint all about the pictures...

Sometimes in this life, we've got to take the hard road. This is the moment you realize that change is not something you can avoid any longer. This is the joy of progression. It's not as easy as one thinks to avoid the need to change and stretch beyond yourself to new heights. It's not easy to feel the rejection or resistance you encounter as people who surround you try to push you back into your spot. Cause after all, if you're changing, that can be pretty inconvenient for those who have to make room for the new you. They're used to the "old you" and they may not be as excited to have the new one. (at least not yet) So, how... How does one cope with the stress of change? By trusting that the new you is a better one. By having faith in yourself that you can endure. That by having faith in the Lord, He'll help you through. So simple.... Yeah, right! I have often found myself lost, "somewhere in the middle". I know what is right, know pretty much what is wrong and live somewhere between the two. I realize that my predicament is not unique, not by a long shot, but that only shows me that I really do need to figure it out. So here I sit, pondering the mysteries of life's lesson and wondering how the #@$! am I gonna do it?! I'm learning that each little step in the right direction turns on a new light, A night light, that helps me just a little farther on my journey through the dark. Not to sound so negative, cause I've got a great life. But, it seems fitting to talk as if in the dark. So tomorrow, when I awake I will be one step closer to the light I seek, but the dark will still be there right beside me. Trying ever harder to thwart my next advance...
