there are things that we control, things that we do our best to control and things that are beyond our control in such a way that they run alongside the defiance of gravity and other ridiculous scientific theories. when we go through situations or experiences we'd much rather pass on, we don't because we tell ourselves that the end result is worth all the baby nuggets in the world. so who decides what 'worth it' is, and at what point do we decide that something doesn't warrant our deepest faith and biggest bathtubs of effort? it feels as though we are all continuously working towards something, waiting for someone, wanting to be somewhere else - because we assume it'll fix the problems we have now without even stopping to consider that our desire for them lacks the knowledge that they are built on a foundation of problems themselves. the trouble with wanting more is that there will always be more for us to want.
a quote i found in our production room this afternoon while hiding from a 6 month-old letting her bladder go on our coffee table:
God determines who walks into your life ... it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.
