As many of you know, I have struggled a lot over the past year because of the loss of my best friend (he didn't die or anything, but the way things ended it felt like he had). In the last few months I finally got myself pulled together and moved on.
Last night I decided to say hey to him when I saw that he was online. We talked for a few minutes, mainly him talking about his band program. But I had to shut it down cause I could feel myself slipping and quickly realized the rope I was holding onto so tight wasn't quite as strong as I had originally thought.
Funny how that is. We always think we know what is best for us. We make these plans and do everything in the world to stick by them. So what, there was a huge fight and you haven't talked in year.. it has been long enough and you will be friends now. Wrong. We really just can't take things for what they are.
As humans, we work so hard to make sure everything is comfortable for us. You know what? It aint gonna happen. We are so focused on what WE want to happen that we miss what GOD has in store for us.
I was so focused on this lost friendship for a while, I didn't see an even better friendship taking form. We are so focused on that missed opportunity, we don't see the thousands of new opportunities passing us by.
I was watching a movie last night with my parents called "uncorked". There was a great quote (this isn't exact) "We can make all the plans we want, but so can God, and he doesn't check in". So true.
So how bout we all let go, and let God!
