Reflecting on Life & God
Listening to: Strength, Courage & Wisdom- India Arie.
You know, I've been doing a lot of reflection lately on life in general. I've always enjoyed my own company and find that when I'm alone, I tend to do a lot of deep-thinking. I wouldn't really call it meditating. Meditating to me is to be in an environment that is silent, relaxing, and will not easily distract me. I've yet to try meditating, but I plan to soon. Anyway, where was I? Oh yes-reflecting on life.
I've realized that the older I get, the more I really have to learn. My momma was right..I still have so much more to learn. And at 19, that is expected but I've come to realize that life is an ever-learning process. You never stop learning as long as you are living. I am a student in a huge classroom with billions of classmates, life is the teacher, and God is the supervisor. You don't really get recess or lunch breaks..there is something to be taught every step of the way. And homework to me is proving that you have learned something from the lessons life throws at you. Once you have learned how to walk through a certain path in life despite the gravel & pot holes that try to trip you up, you've graduated from one of life's intense lessons. But it is important to confront the supervisor (God) every step of the way to make sure that you are on the right path. Sometimes it may feel like you're walking through a maze-confused, tired, and frustrated, you feel like there's no way out. But once you seek God, he will hold your hand and lead you to that open door.
