You know, I have this problem of wanting to fix things, especially when I'm the one messing them up. I have yet to learn the lesson of NOT being able to fix everything because I'm stubborn and refuse to believe that I can't fix everything.
But I think that lesson will be learned this time around... a lot of things are happening as a result of this past experience; a ripple effect I guess you could say. People are being effected and they're all handling it differently, and I have to realize that I, Kendall, cannot control people, people's emotions, situations, how people handle situations, God, and how God works through people's emotions handling all of these situations.
I would love to change everything. Yep, everything. But since I can't, I would just love to change and control the things I value most! Because the LAST thing I want is bitterness and rash decisions and hurt, tons and tons of hurt, and brokenness and animosity and frustration and spiritual confusion! I don't want any of that with anybody near me or around me or with anybody!
To say everybody I know is experiencing all of these things strictly because of me would be a bit far fetched... but as I was talking to a very dear friend of mine last night, one of the things she said was that different people handle things differently because it effected them all differently. And that my job was to NOT try and take control but trust God that He would control that and use it for His glory.
So in my eyes, things may not look okay with another person; their lives may change drastically; they might become completely different people; and it's all God's doing.
"For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:28
