Moments

Those moments in which we wish the entirety of our existence would cease, oh but for a fraction of time. You see, life is going too fast, and quite frankly, it wasn't supposed to happen like this. What wasn't suppose to happen? Everything... Everything that has happened. It was perfect three weeks ago.. It was perfect then.

Family? Who knew it would be like this..

Relationships? I knew it was too good to be true...

Friendships? ...not what I thought it was.


This is the kind of thing that happens to somebody else, not to me. Right?


Wrong.

These are the moments that we must continue, hoping somewhere underneath our exhaustion of cliches that things might be pleasant again... someday.

Expectation.

When one goes in a direction for so long it can be hard to know anything else. That path becomes the essence in which they live, the means by which they operate. It has become a necessity.

If it is a path that is out of sync with the leading of God, then it becomes most destructive.

Some of us are chosen for paths that will never lead us to our dreams.

Yet the sacrifice of those dreams will save many people from many things - ultimately from themselves.

Sometimes going in the direction of good means going away from the direction of expectation.
