K is for Kelly

I think some friends whom I've talked to recently may realise that I've been down in the dumps. A lot of things have been running through my mind and they have an impact on my moods, and sometimes I wonder if I've bitten off more than what I can chew. Maybe... instead of thinking that life is full of ups and downs, I should think that life is a series of contractions and expansions that leads to growth. Just like if a woman wants to add another child and expand the family unit, she must first go through contractions during labour before she has her kid.

Last night, I prayed and talked to God, and I guess He was trying to knock some sense into me via today's sermon. He is preparing me for the next expansion during a period of contraction, and vice versa. He stretches my abilities whenever I step up to the edge of my next expansion. When there are empty spaces to be filled, I know I must fill it. And that emptiness I was feeling recently? I think it's just a sign that I've drifted away from Him and I need to come back to Him, fill it with His presence all over again and revel in His love for me. :)
