i think i didnt get it the first time around, so this is round two. i heard the other day that God has infinite patience and he will always be patient except when his patience is doing more harm than good. i dont know if this is in the bible, but i think its true. maybe someday ill look back on this, and every other factor of my life right now, and wonder what the hell i was thinking.
two steps forward, two steps back. everything is dictated by fear, and i am not getting it, whatever "it"is.
"If you can trust in God right now, when everything in your life is chaotic, then you can trust in him anytime."-my husband
And he is absolutely right. There is no stability in the humans or the institutions in this life, and ive learned that over and over and over again. I trust to much in human love, and expect more out of it then it is willing or able to offer.
Knowing can be a curse on a person's life. I'd traded in a pack of lies for a pack of truth and I didn't know which one was heavier. Which one took the most strength to carry around? It was a ridiculous question, though, because once you know the truth, you can't ever go back and pick up your suitcase of lies. Heavier or not, the truth is yours now.
