A Messy Life

Grab your coffee and sit a while.
   How many of us can agree that life is sometimes messy?  It would be easy if I had all the answers to the unanswerable questions I have rolling around in my head.  That is where my faith kicks in.  I learned a long time ago when I felt God calling me to write, that I would live through first what I wrote about.  The first Bible study I wrote -- "Journey of Faith."  That one stretched me more than I anticipated.  The next study, "Victorious Living" sent me on another whole journey.  Some days I think I have victory, and others, well, it just feels like I am living a messy life.
I love meeting new people.  Recently I met a wonderful young woman.  She is from another country.  Newly married and trying to figure it all out.  I asked her a lot of questions about how she was adjusting.  I love her outlook on life.  Most of us find it hard to break out of our comfort zone to try something different.  She broke out and has lived life big.  Her smile and her laugh tell me that she is truly happy and enjoying this thing we call life.  Even on the messy days, we can choose to enjoy the life we have.
