I have felt inspired, almost overwhelmingly loved, hurt, humbled, torn, desperate, stressed, worried, freed, joyous, empowered, silly, uplifted, lonely, lucky, fellowshipped, and light all one one day.
Sounds like a mess doesn't it? But I feel pretty good all in all.
Numerous events in the last few days have, very specifically, inspired me to write down my inspirations, enlightenments, thoughts, and feelings. What a better way to do it than to utilize my blog?! Writing can be so liberating (that's another feeling I've felt today). There are a few people, whom I love and learn from, who have motivated me to become more edified and then to share it. I am grateful for those people and I will try to show my gratefulness by being more diligent about my blogging.
My bit for the day:
On numerous occasions in my life, I have given my heart to someone who hasn't handled it with much care (and I don't mean just romantically). After varying levels of being crushed, I have always decided that it was still better for me to love. Today, I questioned that belief I have held true to.
As a result of these disappointments, I have often lashed out to some degree, confronting the person and asking "Why? Why? Why did you do this to me?" (Feeling so victimized, maybe unjustly so.) This question has never gotten me anywhere. Thankfully, today I realized that before I lashed out this time around. Instead, I thought to myself, "After only loving those around Him, Christ was responded to with so much hatred. How did He react?" He bowed His head in humility and tenderness and forgave.
Tenderness, mildness, meekness: a lesson to be learned from the ultimate Teacher.
