Round Peg in a Square World


And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 nkjv
 I have always felt like a square peg in a round hole. In school I was too book-smart to be any good for anything else. In sports I didn't have the self confidence to succeed. In life I am too blunt, and I tend to offend people. Whatever the reason, I just don't fit.
I used to seek my place in this world. It finally hit me (the renewing of my mind). After too many years of seeking, I now know why I fit into nature more than anything else. I am not a square peg in a round hole. I am a round peg in a square world. 


Life is round. It's cylindrical, cyclical, it never ends. Nature is round; a round planet in a solar system that is revolutionary. Plants sprout, grow, produce, die, and then the seed carries on. To really get anywhere in the world you need something round....wheels come to mind......round.
Houses, buildings, computers, televisions, radios, pretty much everything we feel we need to survive this round world is square or rectangular. Who thought of this as logic? Take enough non-circular things, throw them into the paths of people, disguised as tools but really distractions, and see how long it takes to make people feel they no longer belong? 

Notice a traffic light. The body is rectangular, but the parts that give direction are round. Christ teaches us that round is good. Round gives us an even direction, always returning home, but the world teaches us that round is wrong. I wonder what the world is trying to prevent me from doing today, if it will go to such lengths?

Talk to your Creator....you will be better for it, even if you can't see it today. Dare to be different. Be a round peg in the world's square. But most of all......GO BE PHYSICAL TODAY! Tomorrow is too late.
Peace!

You Can Never Go Home

Image
Whoever said, "you can never go home again" was wrong. Maybe they just don't have the amazing system of family and friends, which I have. Whatever the reason, they are just wrong. After living in South Carolina for eight years, I came back to my  hometown  for the summer. My family and friends have made me feel so loved, and shown me so much warmth and support, I am almost overwhelmed. With most, it was like no time had even passed, and with others, catching up has been filled with laughs and giggles and a few very late nights at the bon fire. No one has made me feel like I no longer belong, although a few jokes about my blood being thinner and not being able to take the cooler temperatures here, were made at my expense. Of course I give the ribbing as well as I receive it. A few bald jokes, a few burnt biscuit jokes and a couple barefoot and pregnant jokes were shared by me as well. A LOT of laughs have been shared, and a few tears also shared, during this summer of heal

Back To The Basics

Image
Ok so my minor melt down is past. I think the stress of everything just got to me, but I have spent time in prayer, regrouped and now, all better. Back to the task at hand......Healing... I learned this healing process will be a long one. I guess since it took me 37 years to get here, expecting to be healed in a few weeks or months was pretty foolish thinking. I have to change my entire way of thinking about my health overall, not just my back. Processed foods...bad...fresh fruits and veggies..good. That sounds like an elementary way to look at things, but it's what I have to do, get back to the basics of life. I couldn't put a garden in this spring, but I am already planning my gardens for next year. The only hitch is, we are selling our house, and I am not sure where we will be living, how much space I will have to plant, or even if I will have enough room to plant. If not, patio containers, here I come. My pain is no where near what it was, so the water is helping, and

Three Simple Words

Image
I Love You. Three very powerful words. My husband surprised me this morning by sending me a text with those three simple words. It made my day, and I loved it so much that I saved that text. I am often amazed at how such a simple phrase can change the course of a day. Words have power. They have meaning. They can change a day for the better...or for the worst. The word in the middle, love, reveals two choices he made this morning. One, he chose to love me still today. Two, he chose to tell me this. All his choices for the rest of the day, concerning me, will reflect those two choices he made this morning. The reason I believe Love is a choice is that God IS love. (1John 4:8) If we have to choose God, then we have to choose Love. Pretty simple reason, really. Another word for God is Lord-another powerful word, meaning strength to me. People run to the Lord when they fall. They run to that word like a tower in a storm. (proverbs 18:10) With God I cannot fail. With the Lord, I cannot be
