Time Lapse Pondering Post

It appears that time does not heal some wounds as quickly as we like. As I compose this blog today I am aware of recent and past events that have molded me into the person I am today. Not every part of me is great, but I believe I have taken steps and been guided by the Spirit of Christ to develop into the person God wants me to be. I am still subject to authorities that are above me, but I do remain in charge of my faculties to make decisions and formulate opinions that may conflict with them. These are just matters I have to assess and determine if they will alter my course of life or just be forgotten and inconsiderate treatment.

The journals I maintained a few years back contain information that expressed my feelings the day of the writing---- not necessarily right or wrong. But in context I feel justified in describing those emotions at that moment in my life. I may have placed too much emphasis on the negative at the time instead of focusing on the positive. This action can always result in delays in reaching goals or milestones.

As I approach the age of three score and ten I am more aware of what should matter. I must take care of what I have contracted to do within as much as possible. I must fix my eyes on the prize of the high calling set forth in Scripture.

No-- I am not perfect nor have I all the answers, but I do place my trust in God and the positive people he has put in my path. If my feelings get hurt, I've probably got them sticking out too far. There are great resources in my friends.

My prayer is that God will take all the hurt I've experienced and all the hurt I have put on others and do as He promised: "work it for good to those who are called according to His purpose".
