Frustrated
I am annoyed frustrated and who knows what else all at once. I just want to SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the Bible it talks about not being able to put new wine in old wine skins or they will break.
"And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. Luke Chapter 5, Verse 37
I've heard this verse over and over and never understood it, till tonight. I have been praying and believing for change/growth as a person and believing for better things and blessings and they don't seem to be happening. I know in my heart and spirit they will happen but when?! Honesty they just seem to be happening SLLLLOOOWWWLLYY and it's making me nutz! Well tonight I was watching a minister on T.V and he preached about new wine in old wine skins and it hit me like a ton of bricks, thats why it's seems to be taking forever (espically for the 2 things in particular I've been believing for). I've known for sometime that my old ways and way of life wont work for me anymore and that I need to change in order to be able to handle the blessings on the horizon. And now I know until I've changed for the better I'll have to wait for those blessings. It makes perfect sense. Is it frustrating, YES, annoying, YES, worth it in the long run, YES! All good things come to those who wait, Rome wasn't built in a day, anything worth having is worth waiting for all those sayings are great as long as you're saying them to someone else. Applying them is the true test. I want to scream to the top of my lungs, punch a hole in the wall, eat a whole chocolate on chocolate cake and drink a bottle of Ballatore Rosso. Will any of those things help, no. So instead I'll whistle, I'll continue to walk at least 3 miles a day and have a piece of cake and glass of wine. Change is good, painful yes but one more of those annoying sayings, no pain no gain. One more, the cup is 1/2 full, which means it can only runneth over!

Honey, you don’t have to tell me, you know the current story of my life, Sometimes I feel like IT sometimes I don’t, LMAO. Let me define it for those who don’t know: being in love, companionship, commitment, and the whammy of them all CHANGE. I totally get what you’re saying and I have also wondered about that bible verse for some years, I just assume it would be one of those things that I would understand with age. "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. Luke Chapter 5, Verse 37. Now that’s deep and can be interpreted so many ways. I’m getting, you can’t start a new journey following the same directions as your last journey but expect to for the same directions to lead you to a new destinations. You can’t do the normal or what’s comfortable for you but expect a new outcome. You have to accept and personally adapt to change in order to get what you truly want. It makes so much sense!
