I think WHAT we push and fight for changes over time and with our individual circumstances...it might be that our biggest fight at the moment is finding the strength or energy to get out of bed and make it to the bathroom....that's a worthwhile fight!...or even more difficult is to make it in to the shower!! That's huge!....so as far as WHAT the fight is, is not as important as our keeping on fighting to accomplish it in spite of our pains, rejections, losses, and overall HELL that sometimes being alive can bring. I think that once we have finished with one fight, another one often takes its place...sometimes we are fighting for something that is impossible to succeed at...should we fight any less? In my opinion NO...we should try to continue fighting until another door opens that leads us elsewhere...or if we fought hard and ultimately lose and we decide to go down another hallway to another door...that's ok too. I just admire those who continue to fight. Sometimes we fight so hard....and we have no where to go in the end....that's when I believe we really surrender and this elusive thing called "Grace" comes in to play...and takes over the fight for us.
Speaking of fighting....yeah this is the real Kryptonite song....

I want right now for someone else to take over this fight..I want to be behind the curtain watching the events take place..I want for the blows to hit else where..I want for the weakness to let go of my me. I want to cry really hard and have that make it all better.. I want the answers given to me and the methods laid out..I want the quiet to not hurt so much and I want the tears to stop stinging. But more then anything else about this fight that I want changed.. Is I want to be me. I want to brave. I want to be smart and quick thinking and sly..I want allot of things that I will never have.. I want to be allot of things Ill never be. But today I have found ways to pave a new road for myself. And I have been fighting all day and trying to fix the brokenness of this thing. Tomorrow will it come with less force then today. Will it come with less of a need to fight the good fight..I don\'t know..Now I am numb and I have been stirred to respond, when I pledged to stay quiet..Another fight for me to win...
A agree that you have to fight to win peace and grace, but support is always key, because you can\'t do it yourself. As Sammy mentioned, she just wishes someone else would take over the fight. Without someone to lift her out of the blackhole, she\'s going to circle around herself until she\'s dizzy.
I agree, not A agree.
*hugs* fighting within the suffering that is the nearly endless cycle of life everyday!
Thank you for that - that helps me continue my fight - you are absolutely right - our pushing forward is never lost energy - it may not lead us where we think we\'re going - it may lead us to something else - the best things that have happened to me in my life have dropped into my lap while I was busy moving in another direction. Good journal!! Can I be your friend?
