I’m standing at the counter waiting to pay for my apples and someone who just came up gets helped first -what??!
I’m walking along and a car turns right into the 6 inches of street right in front of me and would have run me over if I had not stopped -what in the world??!!
I’m next in line at the grocery store and as I set my basket on the counter, a guy comes up and sets his basket in front of mine -WHAT??!!
A lot of things just don’t make sense. But logic often isn’t the point. Here are some things I’m learning (again):
1. In order to find myself, I’m supposed to lose myself.
2. In order to be “rich,” I’m supposed to give away everything I have.
3. In order to have enough love, I need to give all my love away.
4. To live fully, I need to die.
5. To be vulnerable with others, I need to be honest with myself.
6. To be comfortable with others, I need to be comfortable with myself.
7. If I want to get where God wants me to go, I need to be ok not knowing the next step.
8. To be whole, I’m supposed to let myself be broken.
9. To hear God, I need to listen to His silence.
It’s not easy. It often goes against everything in me. But I guess that goes back to lesson #1.
