Sometimes, life is as complicated as solving for the motion and finding the equilibrium of rigid bodies. But most of the time it is just as simple as "1 + 1=2".
Our choices bring us to where we are in the present time. We have to take some risks, follow some paths and abandon others. And I happened to abandon a certain path, leaving everything behind, including some that is a part of me.
But having that glimmer of courage of taking steps away made me realize to trust more to the One who is always watching over the universe.
Difficulties? I have loads of them now than before. But nothing that ever happened to me was a mistake. Nothing in this world is. Even a dead clock is right two times a day.
I am not afraid to experience hardships, this world has trained me just enough to face them. But I am frightened by the fact of choosing only one particular path because if I have to, I would miss out the others. And there are so many paths in this world that are yet to be explored. I'd like to follow any of them until I am so sure that it is where my heart really belongs, that it is the reason why I am created.
I am now beginning to learn how to catch whatever life throws. And is now surrendering to every moment of my days, knowing that there is always a hand Who will guide. That every time I am in search of help, He never lets me down.
The more I learned how to play, the more intensified my life becomes.
The more I took the steps, the more I understand that my life has a meaning and a purpose. And that is enough.
Afterall, life is not a race. We are all travellers in our own chosen paths. It is not just about surviving the journey now but living the purpose.
I am grateful enough for the experiences from the past roads I took. Thank you for preparing me to be who I am now. I have known now that each day in those paths made me better than on the previous days. Even if most of the time I was complaining about how unfair life sometimes is.
All of this have happened according to the time the Lord chooses. I have all the time I needed to live and love, now that I have found another path, and had someone to journey with because understanding life would be useless if you're alone.
And at this moment, I am thankful enough I don't have to work on only one certain field. For I am seeing the world now as a field, and I will do everything I can to work and make sure of a bountiful harvest.
Be blessed! ^_^
Enjoyed reading this, can't put my finger on it, but there is a certain charm in your words.
Awee <3 Glad to hear that from you, @thalmary! ^_^
great story post.
And what a beautiful path to choose.
I remember a mentor saying once, “obedience is success.” We are not called to know the path or even look back and say the other choice would have been a millistep better. What we are called to do is be faithful, for the Lord works all things for good for those who believe Him.
