Graduating… but definitely still learning!
Friday, April 20th, 2007Things I learned the past few weeks…
1. I’m climbing this mountain to get to the summit, and at this point in my life, I’m in the most challenging leg of the climb/trek. I realized that if I want to get past this part of the mountain, I would have to relieve myself of some of the stuff I’ve been carrying around for what seems like forever. Past hurts. Past failures. Past frustrations. The past, period. And a lot of my fears. Because if I don’t, I may not only get stuck in this part of the mountain. I may actually fall down to my death. So if ever I’m planning to really reach the summit, I would have to downsize my pack.
2. I shouldn’t expect to have my God’s Best fix me up. I guess, semi-consciously (if there’s such a thing in Psychology - which I doubt), I’m doing that - hoping to find someone who could fix me up. Bottling up every resentment, hurt, disappointment, thinking that my God’s Best would be able to undo everything and make all go away. He is my God’s Best after all right? But it has been said time and again: Jesus is the only one who could actually fix me up. It’s only now that I’m really getting it. And what’s more? I realized that if I don’t let Him fix me up now, I’d be cheating my God’s Best out of HIS God’s Best.
