The World Still Turns

Bitterness and Anger never make you happy.
Holding on to the past never gets you through.
Time goes on, things change.
People and their lives change too.

Holding everything thing just makes you miserable.
Grudges and hatred rip lives apart.
Honesty is the only way to make things ok.
Letting things go is good for your heart.

Friends fight and disagree.
You're not going to always see things eye to eye.
Love covers a multitude of sins.
Forgiveness is always worth a try.

Time passes on and things seem to change.
The world continues to turn.
Past is the past.
Nothing stays the same.

Feelings get hurt.
Hearts get broken.
Promises are made.
Promises are broken.

Humans are fallible.
They are not to be trusted.
Plans are made.
Plans get adjusted.

Friends come and go, relationships change.
Sometimes things are not meant to be the same.
Love covers a multitude of sins.
The worlds still turns just the same.

Things might be different than they were just a few months ago.
Things may be better than they were before.
But things are better in more ways than one.
Now we have each come to a new door.

Leave it in the Lord's hands, that's what I try to do now.
Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.
And with the friends that I've got, I've seemed to make it through.
As long as I keep my nose in His Word.

It will all work out the way that He wills.
I can't always make choices for everyone.
It's God's place to make the plan.
I've just got to pray for everyone.

I haven't blogged in a while, and here I am sitting on my bed, thinking over the past couple months. Moving, break ups, fights, and awkwardness. New friends and old friends, lost friends and found friends. Struggles and trials, mishaps and adventures. My life definitely is different than it was months ago. Happy and content, quiet and peaceful, would describe my life here in small town Iowa. But with every good thing comes struggles as well. Life isn't going to be perfect anywhere. There's always going to be hard times. It's how you respond to them that matters. I like my life. Don't worry too much about me. The world still turns whether I'm struggling or not. God's still in control, He knows what he's doing. I'll be ok. He'll get me through. He's done it for 24 years, He'll keep doing it too.
