There has been an uprising in my soul for the past couple of weeks. This uprising is caused by snide remarks, contemplation, and just life itself. It spun my world into a bit of chaos and even more so brought more challenges my way. These challenges are pushing me to think in a new light and live in a new way. The way that I am going about things right now just isn't cutting it and I need to do something about it. I need a change of pace, a new way of living, something that isn't my typical everyday life.
People are always telling me things about myself. They are always telling me who I am and how I live my life. Some of these things are true, but then again some are far from the truth. I was always told as a kid not to let other people's words hurt me or harm me. However, not letting them harm me and having an affect on me are two different things. There has to be a reason that they say the things they do and if it strikes a wrong chord then I should do something about it. If it makes me think at all, then I need to understand why I am thinking that.
I am not saying that we should take everyone's words to heart and make changes accordingly. I am just saying that if some things offend us, there has to be a reason behind it. We should take those things as challenges and see what God can do with them. Taking them as challenges and remembering that the truth has to be overheard in the lies. It is in this that we will grow most and that we will continue to become who we were made to be. This chaos that I have been thrown into can be a good thing as long as I use it to be a good thing.
