Moving in the right direction

“Crying is all right in its own way while it lasts.  But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.”
- Narrator, as it pertained to Jill, The Silver Chair

Well, it's been quite a while since my last post...

My life has definitely changed for the better. As I was sitting here, thinking of a positive way to re-launch my blog...I couldn't stop thinking about 'commitment'. I'd failed to continue my blog- procrastinated excessively throughout my life. These past couple of years have brought hurts and additional trust issues into the mix of my own person. I feel that I am constantly sinking and swirling into confusion and regret. This quote uniquely describes my current thoughts on life in general. 

Although my ship has symbolically capsized and felt the rush of troubling waters, I am not going to dwell within such misery.The sadness and anger that was once present has left me and been replaced by his healing love. My ship has potential, reason, passions, talent, and a new direction to pursue. No one can last in such sorrow over the past, our ships must move on. God's love has prodded me to examine my own steering methods. His arms have shown me the joy and glory of taking control of the helm once more. Wherever God leads me, I will follow...the waves and currents of life will be fleeting compared to his all-sustaining love and guidance. So, what about 'Commitment'? Just as a sailor must navigate toward his set destination, so I will be. This voyage will be very arduous, but such a departure from my old thought pattern is vital.  To forgo the waters I have covered and find a safe haven upon God's rock is my motivation. No longer will I be complacent in the sea of tears, for there's too much at stake...God is grafted into the framework of my ship and will remain, nothing- not even terrorizing storms will ruin my excursion... 

He'll move me in the right direction...
