Perspective is a lovely hand to hold (April 22, 2010)
May 28, 2010
Anyone that knows me very well or has ever discussed music with me knows that my favorite band of all time is Relient K. Their tunes are catchy, and their lyrics are random and off the wall but still beautiful. I was listening to one of their songs on the way to class the other day and heard a lyric that really describes what I'm facing right now..."If a nightmare ever does unfold, perspective is a lovely hand to hold."The past few nights when I close my eyes to go to sleep, the only thing I can see is myself, lying on the operating table, nurses and doctors all around me waiting to operate. It's truly a nightmare. My surgery is one of the first things I think about when I wake up, and one of the last things I think about before I go to bed. It's always on my mind. Some days, I wake up and think, "Wow, I can't wait until I have my surgery." But there are also days when I wake up and think, "Oh my goodness, what have I gotten myself into?!?!"
I know, in the end, I'm going to be fine. God wouldn't have placed this dream and desire in me if He wasn't going to bring me through. But, I just have to keep perspective. I have to keep my eye on the prize, the final result, God's ultimate plan for me. It gets really hard sometimes, but no one ever said it was going to be easy. But one thing is for sure. God is for me, so nothing can be against me.
