Sam and Maria.

Recently I experienced a situation that was really complicated, to me. It involved people, lives, hearts, emotions, right, wrong, and just enough to make a girl’s head spin.

I spent a lot of time trying to understand it, fix it, retrace and reconcile, but nothing seemed satisfactory. If anything, I just made things more complicated with my “fix it” approach.

One day, as I pondered it yet again, I asked Jesus how He saw it, and this time, the clouds broke and I got that ray of sunshine answer that made it all make sense for me: It is what it is. Deep, eyh?

In other words, I don’t have to understand it, I don’t have to try and fix anything, I just need to accept it, where I’m at, where other people are at, and trust the Lord for the ride.

This lesson is one that I find very relevant to life right now, at least my life . Sometimes it’s all just a lot to wrap my head around, but keeping the frame of mind that I can walk by faith, even in personal matters that I feel I need a grip on, keeps me remembering that Jesus’ expectations are often so much less than what I have for myself. Acceptance of where I am at, and where other people are at, and faith that the Lord is going to continue leading us along, is so much more stabilizing. Don’t you think?
