Sorry for the lack of posts. School has captured the majority of my time and refuses to give it back, at least until Thanksgiving. But here I am now, relieving any irritatedness from my readers (I do sincerely apologize).
"Everything happens for a reason" were the words that caught me off guard today...the funny thing is, it was a taste of my own medicine. I'm always the one telling people to quit worrying... "everything happens for a reason." The words bit me in the butt today when I found myself slightly upset about being late for clogging, as we have been instructed to not be late. "Everything happens for a reason, Abby."
Let me clarify a subject that comes up frequently when I say that. I do not, under any circumstaces, believe in predestination. I believe that there is a fine line between things happening for a reason and being predestined, and that line is free will. God planted in us a free will to make our own decisions-whether or not we choose to follow him, etc. It is not love to force someone to believe in something. Things happening for a reason...there is a time and season for everything, and for every event under heaven...
Anyway, now that that is cleared up. Where was I? Ah, right...taste of my own medicine. It certainly has been an interesting day, mostly made up of learning through trial and error and figuring things out on my own, but it has been good for me. A major thing, as you may have already guessed, has been to not say something unless you can act upon it yourself. The whole concept of getting the log out of your eye before the speck of your brother's, I suppose would be one way to look at it. I have been actually very amused at how I've had to learn things the hard way, but the best part about learning that way is that you will never do it again. One thing I've learned is that when something must be learned in such a manner (whether due to closed-mindedness, stubborness, or just pure necessity of learning a lesson in such a way), there is nothing better than to learn the lesson, and move on in life. What is the purpose of getting so upset about how life "sucks" because we had to go through some tough stuff? Move on with life... there is so much more to do with the only life you've been given.
Well I so wasn't planning on going that route with this. But I guess it was just one of those things... well, that happens for a reason.
thats all for now, readers. have a wonderful night...and do something out of the ordinary in the next 24 hours. Call someone that you haven't talked to in forever, or pay the bill for the guy sitting two tables down from you. Who knows...you could change a life.
