Mood Swings

Mood: The state or quality of feeling at a particular time. A distinctive emotional quality or character.

Swing: to cause to move to and fro, sway, or oscillate. To change and shift.

Whether we admit it or not ever one that is human has mood swings. Usually we refer to these as something only our mothers go through but that's not the case.

If you are human then you experience these.

Sometimes I wish my mind could expand wide enough to understand how God maintains peace in the midst of all the storms he sees. All the mood swings we non-perfect people go through. Yesterday I was lying on the driveway looking up into the perfectly clear sky and it was almost as if my eyes could not focus. There were blurry spots that clouded my vision of the perfect blue sky. We see SO many different objects/things within one day. Just looking at the computer now there are at least 100 different things that my eyes can capture an image of. No wonder we have a hard time focusing, no wonder we can not maintain one mood all the time. I consider myself a happy person, that enjoys the life that's been so graciously given to me but sometimes I'm a pain. I get distracted more than Id like to and loose focus on tasks that I have set out for. If at the end of every blog we truthfully told how long it took us to write it, how many times we lost focus.. well I would never do that.

Some say there are four personality types an some say sixteen. No matter the number one fact remains the same. People are all different. We may all share the common trait of mood swings but we experience them at all different times and in many different ways. Some of us need to be alone and some of us have to be with people and talk things out. Oh, the circle of life. Its brilliant really. Never boring, always keeps you on your toes, leaves you questioning many things. We experience pain, we experience love. We have money, we don't have money. Everything seem to be coming together, then tomorrow everything can fall apart. BUT... What if we had the same peace and happiness through all these things? Whether good or bad, we were just always happy, never frowning, never questioning. I watched a movie last night about a woman that was all smiles. Never upset. She never went on more than five dates with a guy so that no one got hurt. She was that cautious to never feel pain. Now its a movie so of course at the end she fell in love and what not. However this process caused the guy and her to hurt one another, say things they did not mean, and fail many times. We hurt people, we fail because we are human. It's what separates us from HIM. Hes the only perfect one. Despite our child-like moments that cause him pain, he never leaves us. He endured suffering on the cross for six hours. Six flipping hours of agony. Why.. So that we could make our human mistakes. So that we have hope. So that we can spend eternity with him, The perfect one.

YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE NO MATTER WHO I AM.
