Go with the Flow Don't say No

i think growing up is about succeeding. for my own life- i have found that it is not a matter of wanting better- but often about being afraid of wanting better. there is a paradox that continues to play out in my life-

i often feel ahead- ahead- like three steps ahead of things. i'm wired in the way that i think long term- i think down the road...but often when i think about the times that i've been ready- i've been reluctant to seize opportunities.

not sure what to say- but maybe it's about seasoning. maybe it's about timing and seizing the opportunities that readily come our way. if we aren't ready for the blessings in our lives- it is easy for us to overlook them and simply turn a blind eye. we call it ignorance- but when we know something is in our face- can we really call it ignorance?

and perhaps it is about that. our lives are filled with blessings that we are unable to see- opportunities that await us in our midst....and regrets of not acting, not doing anything, afraid of making a wrong decision

fear can be so powerful in holding us back in our dreams...and we can stay paralyzed in a myriad of ways. we pawn off our actions as being patient- and i find that....although as patient as i can be- i find that true patience is knowing what you are looking for....and often in times of transition we find serenity and peace- trusting in Christ for the things we love

it's not so much the things we love and want- it's just ....well....it's being ready for the blessings in our life- and so much more that God wants to give us....if we would just open our eyes....open our ears....and open our hearts
