A new song...

You can tell a lot about a person by what they write. Writing is much more an expression from the heart than anything you could ever speak verbally of. Today I was scanning through my previous entries since I started my blog and I realized that all of my posts have the same underlining issues. No matter what the topic was and how they differed it still felt as if I was reading the same story over and over and over and over and over ANNNND OVER. As I continued to read, the words began to all run together and it became clear to me that all it meant was, “You just haven’t done shit yet!” Dancing to the same old sad song, marching to whatever beat that is thrown your way! Starting, quitting, crying, fast, slow, too much, too little, not enough, frustrated, sick, lonely, bored, achieve or not to achieve, no, yes, maybe, today, tomorrow, never, who, why, when, what, where, unsure but certain, lost and found, the light is on but its dim and the list can go on. Surely there isn’t a life without trials and hardship but the great thing about it is that that’s not all there is to life. The cd has been playing but I’ve been stuck on one song. It reminds me of the elephant that I wrote about the other day. Over time he grows stronger and more capable than before to break away but because he has been programmed to stay within the given perimeters, he never tries to escape. Life is truly what you make it. What happens and more importantly, what doesn’t happen is totally up to you. God has equipped us with the tools essential for the “life more abundantly” that is talked about in the bible and not only talked about but PROMISED. However, the promise is conditional. We must hold true to what is asked of us first. James 2:14-26 says, “Faith without works is dead.” this basically means that if you do not put in the work, effort, time and strength to achieve whatever it is that you want it will never happen.. Your belief alone is practically a waste. Faith +deeds= success. It’s time to move on. So what this happened, that hurt you, he left you and she lied. Its life, deal with the pain, get through it and move on. Easier said than done but its possible. Wear the scars as a reminder of how strong you are. A scar just means that once upon a time there was a wound but over time it healed...This reminds me of the men I like. I love to see a confident man with a scar physical or internal. It tells me that he has a story but is strong enough to move through life as if he owns it. It excites me and keeps me interested. It shows me that he is able and willing to handle whatever comes his way. I want people as well as myself to see the same strength in me. The strength to dance to a new song.
