I’m not good at this whole blogging thing…I started out with the intention of writing at least weekly if not daily, but I don’t even do that! The only reason I’m writing right now is because I literally have nothing else to do! Yes, I am 22 years old, it’s a Friday night and I have nothing to do. Lame, I know. Anyways, I’ve been thinking about something for like a week now that I really wanted to write about so enjoy!
Have you ever been working on a hard puzzle? I’m talking 1000 pieces of sky hard! And you’re going along working your puzzle and you find a piece that’s just the right shade of blue for the empty space you need to fill, but just can’t make it fit! You try and try but it won’t work! Instead of giving up though you insist that it must go there and refuse to set it aside. I mean this piece has the right shape and color and little bit of cloud that matches up just right, but no matter how you turn it, it is NOT going to work out! You walk away in frustration just to immediately find the right piece next time you come to work it! Or worse someone else hands you the right piece. I may be the only one who has ever done this, but I doubt it. I say all this to say that we do this with God. (At least I do!) I see something that I think should fit perfectly in my life, but no matter how hard I try something is just not right! And rather than graciously acknowledging that it must not be what God has for me, I stubbornly continue to try and force pieces of my life together on my own meanwhile God has something perfect planned for me, if I would only listen and let Him put the pieces in place.
Again, I don’t know, I might be the only person on the planet who struggles with this, but I kinda think not. I don’t know if anyone is going to read this, but it’s mostly just been bugging me and I’m writing it in hopes that it’ll help me follow some of my own advice. I just keep hoping I can make that piece work though! If you are reading, I apologize for any grammatical errors, I really don’t feel much like proofreading or trying for perfection on this one.
