Interesting Invite...

do you ever wonder why god invites you into some of the opportunities he presents? especially the frustrating ones. well, i'm in one of those right now. didn't realize it until after i agreed to it actually...and it's pushing on some old wound buttons for sure.

my preference would be that the painful feelings would just be gone someday. and i suspect they will. it's just that i'd sometimes prefer the "fading into the moonlight" approach as opposed to the moments of intense burning.

i don't know...if you've ever had those moments where you've felt humiliated...well, and used, i should admit...the "getting over" is often harder than the "getting involved".

and then to have god issue an invitation into a cool opportunity...but also discover that those old memories and hot spots will be a part of the deal...it's just tough on the heart.

god is a good god. he's constantly inviting us into more of himself and true life. i'm guessing he's excited to offer more life to those hurt places. it's just a little daunting at the moment.
