CRUISING

There are times in lie when things seem to remain calm and a peace. The day flows smoothly and without any complaints.

You don’t feel the need to be upset and life actually seems fun. Then you can nearly forget the day before when you were totally upset about something.

Do as we might, we can’t cruise all the time. There are just too many pit stops. And they will not all be fun.

But the joy to me comes from the occasions when we can have fun and enjoy things. Just not constantly.

And that is the problem. Well it is to me. And it is perhaps because of getting to comfortable with a given situation.

That is easy to do. But it doesn’t mean that God plans it that way for us. He just makes sure we are in positions to truly remember life isn’t forever.

I don’t think he tries to ruin our fun or add to our misery. But I do believe that if we become to comfortable and complacent He will shake us up.

It is always for out own good. Just might not seem like it at the time. And of that we can be sure.

Because we do appreciate how that can be a problem. In reality it can truly cause problems.

That is because we will end up simply not having a much reason to trust Him. Sometimes we do need that extra push.

And it might be disquieting to our senses, but that is part of the process. Oh to have wings to fly over the deserts.

However, we must walk. And no matter how far we have to travel, we can’t escape the steps.

I am grateful that I have embraced this fact. I cant say I enjoy it at times, but I do appreciate it is for my own good.

Just have trouble at times adjusting to the truth. Which only results in it happening more often.

In any case the joy is celebrating when we learn. When we find the truth and gain some insight.

Hopefully we don’t forget it too.
