Life's Twists and Turns

Life's Twists and Turns

Life is full of twists and turns; no one said it was going to be easy, straight and narrow with no bends, bumps or curves in the road.

Life really is one lifelong “test” of one’s faith; how much you believe, how much you withstand, how far you bend, and where is your breaking point?

Everyone’s breaking point is at a different level and only God really knows where it is, as He is always pushing on it and pushing it higher and higher. The tough times can be very trying, stressful and emotionally draining, but when the experience is over you are wiser and stronger and with more faith than before.

Life really is just a series of short plays, each with a different set of actors or actresses, each with a new and different theme and outcome each and every time.

So stop taking life so seriously and learn to enjoy the ride. Realize you are the star of your own play, so lighten up, laugh more and live it to the fullest.

Life is definitely a play, except there are no rehearsals, as it changes every day. When one gets too lax or comfortable, life delivers a new challenge to unpack.

Unfortunately most challenges don’t come with instruction manuals or guides !!

When one thinks life is so bad with no hope for the future, God will bring in an angel to lift you up and give you new energy and hope.

Sometimes these angels will stay a long time; others will disappear in the middle of the night. Some will back off to give you space to grow and experience new things.

They move far enough away that you miss them more, but are still close enough for you to know they are near.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and truer, and you learn to appreciate those in your life more.
