Late Night Thoughts.

Its 2:25 am and I'm sitting awake pondering on alot of things. Dont you love that word: Ponder? the actual definition is "to give deep thought or concentration into something." I knew when I had such a good night last night that God would test me today. He certainly did. You know, its so easy to make a goal to be the servant of God that you should be but you dont take into account how easy it is to be distracted by the little things in life that hinder you from your daily walk with Him. How do you pull your mind away from issues that might cause you pain or frustration? How do you see the first opportunity to pray and let it go before it gets you first? I am at a crossroads in my life where I can see things around me that are tempting (and not always a positive temptation) and/or frustrating but can also look beyond those things to see joy and happiness. While one path looks so inviting, it may not be the best path for myself to take. The phrase "take the road less traveled" comes to mind with this post. There are and will be daily situations that tug on my heart strings simply because they can blow your mind that things and people are not what/who you thought they were. But really... who cares? What will it matter in the end? Its supposed to be about just me and God right? Well then why do we hurt so much when disappointments occur?... That is what Im PONDERING on!
