SO CONFUSED are the purposes for life in God that many people give up in frustration, despair, or impatience. The attractions of the world are too much of a temptation. Anyone who has had a significantly hard run at life for any length of time – think years – will have been tempted by the devil to give up on God.

Early in my thinking about the idea of becoming by being I ran across Nathaniel Hawthorn’s classic story, The Great Stone Face. As I read the story, a childlike fancy came to me, a vision of one becoming, imperceptibly yet irrepressibly. The story is a simple one cast in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

If I hear one more person say “We need to think outside the box.” I am going to throw up. This is not the answer to your challenges or problems – it’s a myth. Let me explain. I am sure you have – said it, heard it or at some point tried to figure out exactly what does this mean. What does it mean – try something new, try seeming different, stop doing things the same ways – etc etc.

Have you ever equated your life to a jigsaw puzzle? If not, consider how a jigsaw puzzle is formed, how much time it take to complete, and the lessons we can learn from the process.

THE BREACH. Jesus has come to show us how to live, but first we must die. We cannot live until we have died. Now, before you stop reading, consider this: Why is it that life doesn’t work for us? When will life and its circumstances come to be at peace with our expectations for it? What are we to do with a life that seems to want to betray us? And even if we could grasp a better way to live, just how do we do it?

At a certain age, we all reach the point where we stop to think about what’s right and what’s wrong. Recently it started occurring more often upon reaching this phase of self- exploration and thinking “we know it all” but get hit in the face with a shovel called “reality”. After questioning everything around me (even my own existence), I stop to think “am I where I’m Supposed to be, or is it where I Want to be”?!

My first suggestion in the process is stop totally listening to people who think they know what is best for you. I’m not implying others advice is bad, or at times guidance shouldn’t be taken, but understanding others derive these ideologies mostly from their own experiences. What has happen or how they feel about certain situations doesn’t always apply to you, even though they might be pushing with the best intentions thinking they’re helping.

OK, so you have it all; a great career or business, all the financial resources you need to handle your expenses and desires, excellent health, great relationships and happiness, inner peace and contentment – come on – no one has everything. So, what’s missing in your life or to put this another way, what would like more of, less of or better in order to feel you have it all? OK if I haven’t lost you yet – if you can sit there and say nothing is missing in your life to feel totally; safe, content, satisfied and in control of every aspect of your life – in my opinion, no disrespect to anyone, you are living in Fantasyland, La La Land or have some serious denial issues.

We had 179 hours with our stillborn son’s body, yet it wasn’t enough. It never could be. But there is also the fact that what we did in those precious few hours we had with him we may only have repeated again and again because he was lifeless.
