It's Time

Well, it's a new year, and it has been pretty interesting so far...
I'm just sitting here in my apartment, reflecting on my life and what's been going on
And I have decided that I am ready to put my wallowing behind me and jump back into reality feet first
It's pretty scary leaving this cave of darkness, but I think the time has come for me to hang it up
More importantly, I know that God has something special waiting for me and I can't get to it if I'm locked away behind a wall of emotions
Therefore, I know that I need to GET UP and GET GOING!
It's gonna take some getting used to, but that's what God is for
I've been sitting here for the last couple of hours, alternating between praying and singing hymns...
And I have never been so ready to live
I got up and danced a little bit, and I spent a few minutes just praising God, and I could feel myself coming back out
So - no more self-pity and "woe is me's"
No more "nobody understands me"'s and "nobody gets it"
Because 1) If nobody else gets it, I know my Father gets it
and 2) Everybody has their own cross to bear and I need to woman up and carry mine
Finally, I get that it's not all about me. I'm not alone and I'm not unique in my grief.
We each have to understand individually who we are in Christ if we are to work collectively.
So I'm ready to step up and do my part.
Here goes... see what happens!
