It is not easy to change what you feel when you feel it deeply. It is not bad if you don't really care one way or another. When it is a matter of the heart, that is different. 

In 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 it  the Bible talks about love that is patient and kind, that does not seek its own way,which sounds amazing. It also says  that love is not easily angered. When everything is going your way, none of this is hard to live out. When you feel deeply about something and have no shartage of thing so say-but silence is required... that is difficult. 

With a head full of opinions and witty things to say, silence is the right choice at times. Not everything that is happening before our eyes is given to us to share our amazing thoughts on the matter at hand.

I saw a t-shirt today and wished I could just borrow it for a day. It said" Keep life simple- do it my way". 

I was struggling deeply over this very thing. I wanted to say so badly what was on my heart yet I knew that is would be unwise to say. What I feel is true, is not always profitable to speak out loud. 

How does a person go about changing a deeply held point of view. Clearly, every one goes about it a little differently. While I was not sleeping and obsessing over the matter at hand, finally I realized how unfair I was being. I wanted others to make choices that served my agenda. It took me a long time before I could see that. Fear drives alot of things at times. I have said it before and say it again" fear is a poor leader". 

You need to be quiet long enough to get passed the emotions that are screaming in your head and heart and then ask yourself the tough questions. If you can get passed what is staring at you, perhaps you can find a different way to look at what is before you. 

I prayed a long time before peace came to my heart. I solved nothing of this situation, but I can tell you this: I have peace. 

God leads us all differently. Letting those around us be lead can be challenging. Clearly when they are doing something that is harmful to themselves or others, silence is not a good idea. I am only talking about decisions you do not prefer and choosing to look from a different vantage point. 

I looked beyond today and into the future and see that even if this choice that is being made is not my preference, it will be okay. The sun will still rise and there are many good days ahead. God is trustworthy and I can rest in Him.

I hope something of my rambling has helped someone out there! God Bless each of you today!
