Ying & Yang, Push & Pull, Night & Day....Balance

Have you ever loved someone so much that you would be willing to fight for them with your last breath? I know that I love my Sohneya enough that I would fight anything to be with him, that no matter what I had to do to be with him I would do it. But maybe that's not the point. Maybe we're not supposed to be fighting to be with each other, but just let it go and simply be with each other. Doing something like this is incredibly scary, it takes a leap of faith, an enormous leap of faith. The kind you only take when you love someone as much as him and I love each other. Not only does it require faith in each other, but faith in God. Now you may be asking, what do I want you to take away with this? My lesson to you is this: trust in God. Let him be your guide. And no, I'm not telling you to become a mindless zombie, God did give you a brain, so use it. One of my favorite jokes is this: There's a guy drowning and a boat comes by but he tells them "No, no, it's okay, God will save me." So they leave him, and pretty soon another boat comes by, but again he tells them, "God will save me." So they too leave him, and then soon a helicopter comes by, and again he tells them to go along and that God will save him. The guy drowns. When he gets to heaven he asks God, "God, why didn't you save me?" God replies, "I sent you two boats and a freaking helicopter!!" The lesson in this joke and in what I am writing is to let God be your guide, listen to him, but at the same time use the head God gave you, think for yourself. It's a hard balance to find I know, I'm still trying to find it. But if you keep working towards it, you will eventually find it. The best advice I can give you is to make sure that you don't forget about him during the process. This isn't about putting God on hold while you find a balance with him, it's about letting him help you achieve that balance. Let God in and the process will begin, its part of having that powerful connection with him. And remember that there is no due date, no time constraint, no deadline, take your time with this, find it with your own speed. God will wait, and not only will he wait but he will aid you as he does so.
