Embracing the Unknown

Being happy or sounding cheerful and positive isn’t always easy, particularly when you perceive your days/life to be routine, stagnant, uneventful and/or dull.

Confession: I’m referring to myself.  Being optimistic can prove a challenge.  There are times when I feel like imploding.  “Enough already”, I want to shriek, and occasionally do. 

Fortunately, the spiritual side, the hopeful one, can burst forth like Superman smashing through a brick wall.  It’s then that I put the gray matter to [proper] use. 

A reminder to self: everything has its time and place.  Patience (coupled with perseverance) truly is a virtue. 

Only God knows what’s around that sharp bend, beyond the heavy door, at the end of that long darksome tunnel.  And that’s a very good thing.  It means there’s something to look forward to: a surprise, a prize, a miracle.  Within the global mélange of life, something wonderful can and will happen . . . if we keep the faith.

So I write this post for me as much as you: yeah, we may not know what’s out there or what tomorrow will bring, but that’s actually part of the excitement.  Think about it: any day, moment or second (after a blink!), something fantastic can occur.  Isn't that awesome!?

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.   Hebrews 11:1

Embrace the unknown, my friends.
