just keep swimming?

Just when you think that things could not get more ironic. God just hands you a good dose of irony. It is amazing how some of the most beautiful things come at the least expected times. It is even more of a kick when the timing isn’t always the best. But then again who is to say when the time to act is the “perfect time.” Because in all reality there is no such thing as there being a perfect time. We never know what God has in store for us. I mean one day you can be thinking yourself screw guys/girls they are all the same. They are all inconsiderate and heartless (not to sound “emo”). But next thing you know you’re looking into the eyes of someone who just may be an exception to that rule. Someone who respects you and actually enjoys spending time with you. Someone who likes making you happy and does it because they simply want to, not because they feel like they have to. Someone who can bring a different kind of smile on your face.
I have come to the conclusion that God certainly is the best entertainer of my time. Entertainer, in the sense that there is never a day that goes by in which I can only imagine the possibilities of the days ahead. I wish that I could fully surrender everything God without doubting His plans. Gosh, if it were only that easy. But then again if it were not for moments of sadness and disappointments I would not know what true happiness really is. It is a bittersweet concept. Bitter that we can’t always have what we want and sweet because God always has reason for everything. We may not know right away what His reasons are but in due time He reveals it to us.
With this said, I am uncertain if I should just keep swimming or just swim back to shore..

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4

  1. I agree with you, I like how you put your faith into your writting. It helps me understand more, and it helps me understand better, because I can relate to what your talking about.
