TICK TOCK!

As the clock ticks, the silence around us grows louder and louder as the tick intensifies and I wonder what awaits me as the day goes by. Each day comes with its own surprises, either good or bad and we have some part that we play in how everything works out but the major part is played by God, or fate or destiny if you prefer. We can make certain decisions in that split second that change our lives forever, for good or bad. It sounds unfair that people should pay the consequences for the rest of their lives and beyond for a decision that took a second to make.
The code a man lives by defines him, forever strong it stands, no matter what comes, who we are, helps us deal with whatever hand life deals us. In the blink of an eye everything can change and the person you thought you were could vanish to be replaced by a stranger who either scares you or makes you proud. Depending on how resilient you discover you are, these hardships are what help define us, when they push us to what we thought was our limit, how we come out on the other side helps us understand that the limit is not set in stone but can be adjusted accordingly.
The eyes are the key to the soul, as ‘they’ say. What do people see when they try to look inside and find all those hidden parts of you that you don’t even know exist? I know we can hide whatever we want to hide and people can look without ever discovering those chambers of darkness camouflaged by good.
There are smoking mirrors everywhere, illusions.. that sometimes protect and guard us against the enemy, even from ourselves or fool everyone around us to think we are something we are not.
The tangled web we weave around us gets more and more complicated each day, as we live and interact with each other, we pull others into our web or we keep our secrets inside and no one can penetrate our fortress.
Have an awesome weekend everyone.

In other news, our sweetie doesn’t get deployed until Jan. 08. Thank you Lord for the extra months at home :-)
