What do you do to hide?
we all hide in someway, some of us are just way better at it then others. Some people hide who they really are, or the heart that have because it is painful to show it, some hide it because it is embarassing, or it is a scarry thing to reveal. Some people hide as a way of running and not facing life on.
I have been guilty of all of these ways of hiding and more at different points in time and I am sure if you are honest with yourself, you have been too.
I am not as good as hiding as others those. I am not as good at running as others..somone always catches me. And I am Hthankful they do, because when I am running I don't always look up and see where I am running and often it is not in a good direction. And when I am hiding and I get found it is not always in the safest of places either.
what do you do to hide? why do you hide? where are you running? Look around you, where you are hiding is it really a safe place? look up where you are running to, are you running in a good direction? Or are you looking at self distruction, are you looking at more wounds from your running path or hiding place...just know from an expert it is never to late to come out of your hiding place, it is never to late to change your running path or directions. It is never to late to stop hiding or running from life. And another tip from someone who has learnt the hard way the longer you hide from it, and the further you run in a not so good direction the more bruises, scraps and gashes you will have to heal when you do finally stop running or hiding from this thing we call life.
When you come out from hiding from whatever you are hiding from, or you stop running from whatever you are running from..I cant promise it will be easy, actually I can promise it will be hard but it will be worth it. And I can promise amongst the hard times, the healing times, the crying times, the hurting time, the facing life face on times there will be some really good times to be had.

This Time of Year
It is the Christmas time of year once again. It is a time of many celebrations and a time of stress, and a time where people can take the JOY of the season away. I am a people pleaser, so I will try to make everyone happy or comfortable or whatever the case is. Today I came to this realization that by trying to make everyone happy this holiday season I have been missing out! I have been stressing out! I have missed out on the JOY. Well not completely missed out on the JOY of it all but it has come pretty close.
There is this saying that I have heard that you will find JOY when you live your life like this; putting Jesus first then others then yourself. Somehow in all the bussle of trying to make people happy, make all christmas celebrations(which I want to be at, I dont want to miss them or the people at them) I have skipped a step. I have skipped the first step of putting Jesus first, putting him before the happiness of others and before myself. My priorities haven't been right. Funny how that seems to happen, funny how as I talk to people they have the same problem at this time of year, and really the stupidest part of all of it would be the fact that this holiday, this season all of these celebrations are celebrating the gift of himself.
It is time to stop and to celebrate, to celebrate family, friends, the year that passed but most of all the gift that has been given to us.
