Cryptic Messages We'd Rather Not Hear


I asked, I thought humbly, to be shown a path. The path I was shown has been, in so many ways, a bitter pill to swallow. Before I received my marching orders, I felt like there were so many signs that this was emphatically not my path, but the incontrovertible evidence arrived today that it is, and there ain’t nothin’ I can do about it.

Naturally, being me, I can fight against it and say, “Okay, really, I’m giving you another chance - show me my path, as long as it’s not this one.” Or, I can find a way to walk this one with grace. Right now, it’s a toss up as to which way I’ll be able to go.

I feel like Bruce in Bruce Almighty, and it's an almighty uncomfortable place to be.
