I went to a Will Graham training meeting the other night. There was a part of the talk caught my attention. The speaker was talking about difficult things that Christians go through and that our response to a difficult time in our life is to either let it be a stepping stone or a stumbling block.
I don't like thinking of Brian's death as a stepping stone...as if his death had to be there in order for me to get to the next step in my life. I am not sure the analogy completely fits but for the most part I agree with it. I have tried really hard not to let his death be a stumbling block for me. For the most part, I have succeeded. However, there are many times when my thoughts about what happened become a stumbling block. I get distracted by the "whys" and the "how's" and find myself trying to redefine who God is based on what has happened in my life.
I need to stop that. I need to let it go. I want to, but it's hard.
I'm praying that God will continue to show Himself to me and that I will put my trust completely in Him....
My thoughts have become my stumbling block.....
My actions reflect a choice to make it a stepping stone.....I'm rebuilding my life...I'm making great progress...
If I can just get control of my thoughts.....
