Stretched

What do you do when you are being pulled in all directions? When Gods plan for you is painful because it requires stretching and your faith feels weak? Not because you don't trust God but you doubt yourself? How about when you disappoint yourself under the pressure or be unkind to innocent bystanders? I think prayer is foremost for peace. I think Jim Hensen is foremost for humor. Bert and Ernie are very different. Bert likes paper clips, pigeons, bottle caps and lentil soup. Ernie likes rubber duckie, bubble gum, playing jokes and jelly beans. But though they don't always like the same things... they still like each other.
Ernie: You know, Bert, you're a real friend. I'm messy and you don't like messy, but because I'm your friend, you don't mind too much if I'm messy.
Bert: Well not too much.
Erine: But that is what a friend is, Bert. I mean not minding too much because you like someone. That's a friend Bert. A pal. Not minding, that's what friends are for!
We have never been so busy and under so much pressure. Yet I can feel Gods love and the blessing are all around. I know that I am not alone. I love seeing Scott serve and it is amazing seeing him in action. He has always been an incredible man but now he is him. Like he has completely stepped up to all God had in store for him. His compassion and love, his hard work and loyalty, his humor and cuteness-- all intensified. He is a humble man who I adore. He is a leader I love to follow. He is a hunter and a little obsessive but I love that too. He is getting attacked and he forgives, he really loves these people.
If just one person believes in you, deep enough and strong enough, Believes in you hard enough and long enough Before you know it, someone else would think "If he can do it, I can do it" Making it two. Two whole people who believe in you. And maybe even you can believe in you too. Robin and the Muppets
So when I am ready to quit life keeps on going. But I'm not alone and I can get better and somehow I will find out who I am and be the me I'm meant to be.
