Full Speed Ahead

She keeps going. There's no reason to stop, is there? Her life is full speed ahead. Everything in her near future looks like it's all planned out. She doesn't have time for 'unexpected' in her life. So, don't come strutting into her life all of a sudden. Not now, not when everything seems put together.

But everything's not put together is it? There's still missing pieces in this story. In every chapter of her story. She can't deny God's plan either. Besides, it was God's plan that brought her this far. He helped her achieve all her dreams, and there is definitely more to come. So, how can she say no to 'unexpected'? She can't. She won't.

In her mind, she's strong enough to make her own choices. But ultimately, it's not her choice to make. Then she thinks again. "I'm strong enough to know what's bad for me," but then she realizes making mistakes is inevitable. *Sighs* Deep down, she knows she can never deny anyone a chance. Whether it's another chance at friendship, another chance at forgiveness, another chance at love. She knows she's naive, she doesn't need people to tell her so.

She tries and tries. Never giving up. And now? She keeps an open mind, she leaves her heart open. Possibilities. There are so many possibilities. She understands and she's starting to believe. She never denied her faith in God, but in people? "Love your brothers and sisters as I have loved you," and that's exactly what she's going to do. Here's a lesson that she learnt: When you're driving on the road, even when life is going at a speed of 100 miles per hour, you will come across a stop sign or two and have to think twice before you start driving again. So please, hit your break pedals, slow down and stop. Take a chance. She did. And the 'unexpected' really doesn't scare her anymore. Life isn't always full speed ahead.
