The other morning, I was sitting in a pretty large intersection waiting for the light to turn and I noticed something very interesting. It was quite striking and caused me to pause for a moment while I waited for the light to change. It really got me to think about life and what surrounds us. Take a listen to this Podcast to see if your life fits into this scenario and an offer to help you get out.
Welcome to my Podcast Giving You a Fresh Start After Trauma. Regina Sanchez here ready to coach you to place where color comes into your life. Let’s get started as I share my experience with you at a stop light.
“I’d Prefer to Read Your Message!”
As I was on my way to a client sitting at this intersection, I noticed something that made me think for a few minutes. Fortunately, the light stayed red as I was thinking. What I noticed was all and I mean all the cars where either black or gray with a few white now and then.
What has happened to all the color?
Now I’m thinking this as I am waiting at the light sitting in my gray car from my house that I just left which is gray. I am NOT a gray person and wasn’t pleased with the purchase of a gray car nor gray house. But that is what I have and I’m grateful for them.
Actually, when I bought my car, it was considered a type of white. When the sun hits it a certain way you are supposed to see a metallic white. It is quit pretty. But the sun never seems to hit it that way so all I ever see is gray.
But back to my original thought.
Why are most things of monotone color? Years ago, I used to watch all those TV shows of home renovations and remodels. What was the color mostly used in these remodeled homes? Gray.
What has happened in our world that color is going away, and people are gravitating to monotones? Is it all the depression, anxiety and trauma that people are going through, and they cannot see the bright side of life?
Even our days are not sunny. That can get depressing at times as well.
Sometimes it’s hard to be happy when life all around you is falling apart. Did you ever want something so badly, but it doesn’t seem to be happening? To only then have a friend call you with “their good news” and it’s exactly what you’ve been praying and hoping for? You want so badly to be happy for them, but it’s a struggle.
Stepping away from our pain!
It is at those moments that you need to step away from your pain and rejoice with them. There can be times when we need to get beyond ourselves and be happy about others or help others with what exactly you are going through. Because many times for you to get beyond your circumstance you have some journeying to do. I love this statement:
“In order to get to, you have to go through.”
Sometimes we need to “walk through” something in our life that is hard to get to the place the Lord wants you to be. There was a period in my life that I wanted God to zap me out of my situation. Make it all go away … without any effort of my own. I was tired.
Is it time for us to walk through all the “monotone” colors in our life and paint our life with bright colors? What is your favorite color? Mine is yellow.
Let me ask you this …
Where does the Lord want you to “get to”?
What is the journey you are on right now?
Can you accept this path for this moment of time?
Can you embrace it so then you can “get to” the place He desires for you and not go around the mountain again?
Take some time and make a paradigm shift in your thinking. Answer the above questions and then respond to these:
Will you now embrace where the Lord wants you to “get to?” And can you receive it?
Will you believe it and will you stay the course to add brightness to your life?
I’m praying that you will!
Remember …
“God is your strong fortress, and he makes your
way perfect!”
2 Samuel 22:33
