General TURBULENCE

When you make a resolution(a promise to stick to something, do something, go somewhere or avoid something), it is only natural that everything will align itself to bring you back to where you started. All of a sudden, supportive people are not supportive anymore.Caring people become callous.Your well just seems to dry up. Turbulence is what it is. It is opposition. Change is good. Change is necessary but I don't think that it has ever been said that change is easy. Matter of fact changing is one of the hardest things you can ever do and that's why people remain stuck in their ways all the days of their lives. It is easier to traverse the known as oppose to venturing out into the unknown-who knows what they will find? Who knows if they will even be able to cope? Who knows if they will still have the comfort of going back to what they knew if it turns out they they really don't like whats out there? There are so many questions that plague us.

Turbulence is a tricky thing and if you  don't know how to deal with it is can truly push you under.

I hope this definition below assists you so that you guys understand where I'm coming from evening if I get a bit poetic.


turbulence (N)

1.a state or condition of confusion, movement, or agitation; disorder
2.meteorology  local instability in the atmosphere, oceans, or rivers
3.turbulent flow in a liquid or gas

Basically, disturbance,irritation or instability as a state of being, in the atmosphere-air/water/liquid or gas .
Much like when the pilot's voice comes over when in mid-air and you're told to fasten your seat beat,we know the ride is going to be bumpy but that rarely does anything to pacify our emotions.Quite frankly,we do not know how bad it is going to be and how we're going to feel. We're just hoping that the flight attendants come through again with smiles and apple juice.

Life is like that too, unpredictable. We don't know how we're going to deal till we've dealt. Retrospect is the only truth to our behaviour. It is the fact.

I have  and continue to experience turbulence in my life. People and situations which really put you in a position where you're not quite sure how to react. Sometimes you don't react outright as was the case with me recently (and other times as I have also been guilty of,reaction precedes logical thought).

I have found that when there is no action to a circumstance by all accounts requires action we suffer mentally or emotionally. Our feelings tip the scale and we in turn,though appearing normal on the outside are slowly slipping into a dark and unhappy place.

Turbulence is an unavoidable part of life. However we can go through it almost completely unaffected,which is the goal here.

You guys know ,I never want to bore you so I'll just touch base here.

My most recent disturbance/experience with turbulence happened with people. Perhaps I wasn't thinking the right things,perhaps I attracted this negativity into my life. I felt like people around me were unmasking themselves abruptly and I wasn't quite ready to swallow the cold hard facts. I felt bitter,offended and deceived so much so that subconsciously I had been cutting people off. I didn't realize it till it was brought to my attention but everything about persons who possessed what I identified as similar traits was a major turn off.

This morning was not better, I was still angry,  still irritated and annoyed at the turn of events. In all honesty, I did not quite settle myself to pray this morning and I know that's why. Blessings however unfolding in my life for the morning regardless. I realized that God was sending people and situations to out do the bad other people and situations were causing and so I sat and I read GALATIANS 5:1-14.

Now I know we're all going through different things and perhaps you may read this and it may not speak to your current circumstance however, it definitely spoke to me and I hope it reached it to someone else.

I found myself allowing bitterness a room in my mind,heart and life and it should not be so. I feel better after that scripture and I hope you, dear soulful reader feel better too.

I felt trapped. A slave to disappointment. I was doing find before that but now things just seemed to go asunder.I feel like the scripture addresses just that.

Good morning my Soulfuls
Have a day filled with blessings and God's bounty.
Allow no one especially yourself to keep you away from God's  peace

Soulfully Stella
