R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Thoughts for R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Women

“Just because something you want doesn’t appear in your life right away, doesn’t mean that it’s not on the delivery truck heading toward you … just a wee bit stuck in traffic … but soon to arrive yet.” Enough Damnit: A cynics guide to finally getting what you want out of life by Karen Salmonsohn

“Yet is a very powerful little big word,” Karen reminds us. Remember, “There is just one letter difference between Y-E-T and Y-E-S.” Most of us aren’t doing very well with patience these days. Pain is no fun. We just want to feel better, to stop crying, to find peace, to laugh again. We want relief and we want it now. But remember, growth isn’t always fast. When we plant the ugly bulbs in the hard, fall ground, it’s longer than we want before we get the strong red tulips of spring. The growing goes on where we can’t see it for those long, cold months, and then one day this amazing cup of bright color is bringing us joy every time we walk up the sidewalk. So remember, the package is on its way. Keep on keeping on every single day. Continue to make the good, right choices in every circumstance, and you will reap the rewards. God’s promises will be fulfilled. You will have that life you deserve full of God’s best blessings. In the meantime, get out and help clear the traffic for others while you’re waiting.

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” Galatians 6:10 (The Living Bible)
