A thought

It's funny how life can be at times.  A few years ago I read a book by Hannah Hurnard titled "Hinds Feet on High Places".  This book is not your typical type of book. It's allegory, meaning the characters in the story are rather symbolic.  There is a story line and it is easy to follow but like I said it's not your typical book/ story.
In the book the main character comes to the point in her life where she has to make a decision about what she is going to do with her life.  The decision that she makes isn't an easy one and once she makes it, there is opposition.  Which is quite common when we make a decision in life that will change it for the better.  As time has gone by I have thought about this book on numerous occasions, because at times I find myself being in the same type of predicament and the main character, in the story.   Sometimes I wonder if I will take the bull by the horns, as the saying goes, dig in deep and do what I need to do so I can be happier and be more fulfilled.  I do know that I need to be pushed at times in order to get going, otherwise not much will get done. Sometimes the pushing has to come from the people around me. At times this can be helpful but it can also be frustrating because I wonder why I couldn't have done it myself in the first place. Instead of having some come from the outside and be plunger, like in a pinball machine.  I do know that getting pushed is apart of life and something that we all must go through at some point. I just hope that after this transition I'm going through that I will be able to push myself and not have to be concerned about others having to push to get going.
