Keep plugging away.
Okay, really?!
Omg.
OMG!!!!
What the what the…?!!!
*Cassandra seriously considers punching something. Cassandra, thinking of the possible pain, decides to fuss at the massive jumble of cords, instead*
OMG! I have EVERY cord, but THE RIGHT CORD!!!!
*Cassandra seriously considers tossing her gaming system out the front door. Cassandra, thinking of no Mario Bros or Mike Tyson’s Punchout, decides to fuss at the massive jumble of cords, instead.*
If I were blogging about this, I would expound about how this is just a metaphor, for life, my life, to be exact: Jumbled. Tangled. Seemingly, in a big mess. Somehow, having EVERY cord, except the cord I need.
Huh? I am blogging, you say? Hhmm. Okay, I guess I could, wax eloquently, about the need to stay patient and joyful, as God/Life/The Universe, untangles the mess, called us and our efforts and tries.
The other day, I did the unwise thing, of judging my life, by what I perceived as my lack. I kicked myself, for not knowing HOW. I chastised myself, for not being further along. I cried, just a smidge.
I looked at the meager things, I had. Not looking at all the lives I have reached out to, in love.
I looked at the few friends, I had. Not looking at all the ways those few have filled my life with all manner of love, of joy.
I looked at this broken body, which had never borne a child. Not looking at all the children I have encountered, encouraged and half raised, over the years.
I looked at, all the places I have never been able to afford to see, in person. Not looking at, all the places I have seen, through these years.
I looked. REALLY looked. At all those things. I smiled.
Now, I look at all these jumbled, tangled cords. I smile.
I shall keep plugging away. At this tangled mess, called me. Life is messy. At times, I am messy. That said, I am also loved. Tangled. Free. No matter. I am loved. As are you.
Be encouraged.
Keep plugging away.
You can.
You will.
You already have.
