You know we always talk about how change is coming and things will be differently and how that is always a horrible thing, but is it really all that bad? Think about it, sometimes when you get things out and can change how things are things get better. Talking about things that need to talked about can help someone feel better and mend something that was broken or discover what was lost. That isn't always the case though. Sometimes when people get busy change occurs and friendships lose their strength. It can be a slow fade and then one day we wake up and everything has changed. So, what'a a girl to do?!
As a female, I can honestly say that things often seem more complicated than what they really are. Trust me, generally we make things a way bigger deal than what they really are. I remember when I was little my dad would say, "Emily, don't go making mountains out of molehills." I think of that phrase often whenever I get stressed or start to freak out about something or when I think I might be blowing something out of proportion. There will be times when friendships dissolve or turn into mush but is that because we stop trying or is it because it wasn't a good friendship to begin with? That is something that we have to look at instead of how we feel about the situation.
There will be times in our lives when we have to grow up and get over how we feel about something and just do what we're supposed to do. Whether the change that has to occur for you is good or bad, always remember that we serve an audience of One and in the end only His opinion of us matters. There are days when I struggle with that and have a hard time remembering the real reason why I exist and I get focused on what people think and say. Here is a little encouragement that I came across today: "Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." -2 Corinthians 4:16-18.
Now that I think over the things that seemed like the end of world yesterday, today I have realized that no matter what God is in control and He is bigger than the moments that makes my world spin out of control. He is my dream come true and even when I feel as if I'm in the depths of despair He's the Prince Charming that is always there for this damsel in distress. :)
Have a beautiful day! -EmilyAnn
