Life. A funny, strange thing. One day the world is boring and mundane and you can set a watch to each event that's going to happen throughout the day. Then, one day, poof! You're thrown into a maelstrom you weren't expecting or even wanting! Suddenly things are different, unsure, and frightening. Those peaceful but boring days are gone.
That is where I find myself now. If I had written this before today I'd say "I'm standing on the edge of a deep hole and can't see the bottom." Well, today I took that plunge into the hole and into the unknown. Now I'm free falling and all I've got is hope and a promise. They both say the same thing: everything is going to be okay.
I can't truly say what this circumstance is, only that it requires a mountain of faith. I wasn't even sure I was a "mountain of faith" kind of guy but here I am willing to even try talking to a rock for water than go through THIS. But go through it I must. The irony of it all is I remember my last post and I can say with certainty I am not the guy I was a month ago.
I'm also not the guy I was when I first wrote the above piece. That draft was in September of last year (2022), and here we are in June (2023). A whole new year and new experiences have come down the pipe and it's already led to the year being half over! Time really does fly. But what can be said about my earlier observation? It's still very much true. I'm not who I was last year, 6 months ago, or even last month. Growth and change have occurred from everything that's happened.
I'd love to expound more but that's for a longer blog post series I am going to be doing. Stay tuned!
