After reading "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" I was all jazzed up to go live a great story, start some new exciting chapters. Last week I had three new chapters starting and all looked like they were going to lead to great stories. I think I forgot that life has it's ups and downs. Two of those three chapters were closed on me in the past few days. Which was very humbling. But I do believe the one that has been a major part in my story for a while will continue to be so and will offer many exciting chapters to come.
I am not writing this to complain. I cannot stand blogs that just complain. I am writing this because I got caught up in life, caught up in the good things and forgot why these stories were happening, because my author started them. He created me as a character and guides me through the story. Every good story has conflict and every good protagonist goes through what is called a character arc. They have to face adversity and come through the other side. After wallowing in self pity for a few hours today I was reminded this by a client I was working with at work. He said to me "life is a rollercoaster." And I laughed. It is true.
Look, if we put all our pride and self worth in silly little things that do not really matter in the large scale of life, like I was doing, we will always be disappointed. If we realize who our author is and understand conflict is apart of becoming a great character and creating a great story, then we will be able to deal with those minor bumps in the road. So friends, seek God ALWAYS! Do not be afraid to have some adventure, start some exciting chapters, but know that sometimes chapters are short or bad, but it's how the character changes after those experiences that determine the real story.
Love Y'al
Oph-dizzle.
