disappointment

Disappointment comes in many forms.  Not getting an A on a paper, rain on a swim day, etc... Disappointment sometimes comes from people.  For me I have been disappointed by few people in my life but each time has been the same situation.  So I have often times asked, "why does it always happen like this to me?"  But the question i should ask is, "what am I supposed to learn but haven't mastered yet."  Because, if I had learned my lesson this same disappointment would quit happening.  The solution is easy.  Keep your focus.  It's not what are you living for, but Who are you living for.  I think each time I start to look at the what and not the Who, is when the what becomes ammunition for the enemy to use.  Event's happen that test ones faith, but my faith is still growing.  It's still deepening.  I am still learning what authentic, true, undeterred faith really looks like.  So God... you know my heart, maybe you read my blog but... I've learned my lesson.  3rd time's a charm.  Thank you for the kick in the butt and wiper wipe on my windshield.  I see.  I have learned my lesson.  In every situation, in every relationship, make you number one.  Make you priority.  Make you my focus and "the things of life will grown strangely dim in the light of your glory and grace."
