I have started a new journey, will actually re-establishing the old one. I am re-reading The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. And one of the questions brought up is, " What metaphor best describes your life? Circus? Roller Coaster, something else?
The first thing that popped into my mind was a clown car. Not that my life has been one big joke or my family is a bunch of clowns. When I see the clown car I think of all those clowns crammed into the car with no room to move around. All that pressure built up. No wiggle room, no breathing room, no where to run in times of panic.
My life is like that a lot it feels like. How many things can I cram into it? Is one more thing really going to hurt or should I be content? Is this other activity worth my time or is going to make me look good? Am I overextended?
Pressure; this word has been a true enemy. I haven't been handling it very well lately. My Irish roots have been showing a lot over the past several months. What did you say? Boom! Growl! Roar! If you get close enough I might just bite your head off!
My heart starts to race....where can I go? My spirituality has...oh wait, not existent as of late either.
Why am I telling you all of this? Great question! Because I know I am not a lone. I know there are others that struggle with these issues.
Well, God has a plan for us! Now, I am not a very patient person, so waiting on God to show me his plan for me really sucks! You know what I mean?! Well, if you are willing, check out Higher Ground Community Church on Facebook and follow the journey and hey, if your feeling froggie or even want to be controversial, come on down. I'd be happy to have you! The more the merrier!
