The In-Between
Life is funny sometimes. I've hit a stage of what I call "The In-Between." I have to finish this stage, yet my heart is preparing and longing for the next stage. It's hard to focus on this time and make the most of it when I know that the stage that looms in the distance is the stage I've been waiting for for so long. My heart is in one place, but my body is in the other. It's really hard at times. It's stretching, challenging, and sometimes downright painful.
The next stage is a little nerve-wracking, to be honest. There's a lot of unknown, which (depending on when you ask me) is a little scary and a lot of awesome at the same time. So much of me just wants to get to that next stage, just to start living it, but I can't just waste the months of "in-between" away. I'm excited, i'm stressed, i'm ready, and i'm not. But overall, I just have to trust, pray, and be patient. I need to be content with this time and make the most of it. I've been given these days as a gift, so to waste them away and not be content would be a shame.
That's what's challenging my heart lately. And that's what is taking up a lot of my time.
Also...perspective.
I've been learning a lot about perspective lately. The thoughts spilled out above, plus other situations really have me discovering just how much of my happiness is based on perspective rather than situations. The Lord will always provide and lead when we trust him. That's with everything. Our lives. Our decisions. And even our attitudes.
Finally...a couple quips.
-Semper Gumby-->Always flexible
-Be ready to hurry up and go, be ready to hurry up and wait.
