A Season of Change

Two years ago, I was a fresh out of college, excited about what life had for me. I didn't bother carrying a very comprehensible career map, knowing that when life starts kicking me in the bum again, it wouldn't be a very hard blow on me.I could always re-sketch the map and do some re-routing. In the course of two years, I remade my map almost five times. I wasn't able to go to med school, I wasn't able to work as a nurse within a year...the list goes on. I had to be flexible. That was the foundation of the plan.
But sometimes, life can be very cruel. There are people and things that you hold so dear but life wouldn't spare you. There are no special considerations. It would touch every aspect possible. Hit or miss...as long as it fired.
Here I am, still trying to dust my knees and heal the wounds. I had been beaten badly again...so slowly, I wanted to give up. It took me a very long time to realize that I had let go of my Lifeline, my Hope in Everything, My Light, My Saviour...I had forgotten, rather, postponed praying to get more sleep,more time in my hands to spare for work, my friends and my boyfriend. I forgot that God was above all of them. I had forgotten Who was really important to me!
A recent fight with someone dear to me became my wake up call. In the midst of tears and pain, I had to get a magnifying glass to look closely at my map again. Retracing the routes, I realized that God was almost always missing. I wasn't able to include Him in most of my map. And on those routes, I had always seen dark and empty roads...
Right now, I'm trying to start again. I would be glad if someone offered discipleship and guidance.
