It's never too late...

I'm a predictable kind of girl. I like the same things. Not too drastic changes make me happy. I would like to think I'm somewhat creative tho I don't crafts and hobbies that I call my own...yet. I just haven't found my kind of 'thing' that I can call my past time...unlike many of you! I like to eat the same foods, shop at familiar stores yet I crave a balance of spontaneous outbursts of 'out of the norm'.
Today was one of those days to expand my world.
I bought a pomegranate.
That's quite wild in my world.
I love the smell of it...in fact, it's smell is my favorite perfume I wear and scent soap I use. But I have never taken a bite...not once.
So I followed directions and opened up this amazing fruit and discovered a delicious sweet and tangy treat inside.

There were lots of juicy adrils inside calling my name. I think I'm in love. It is just delicious. I have to say though, before today, I wondered what it could be like but really doubted that I could actually like it. In my mind, my life is already full...so why add to it? That's what I thought before...but now I'm so loving it! It's really good. And healthy. And juicy. And since it takes a while to eat, I have to eat and savour each taste.

Mmmm..

That crazy little life choice to try something new today, actually taught me something beyond my 33 years. I have been working on my latest Bible study "Breaking Free" by Beth Moore. I have been working through some 'stuff' in my life, and learning to let go of baggage that I need to remove. Thus the title "Breaking Free" fitting perfectly into what going on in my life. Perhaps it's the unknown...like the pomegranate...maybe it would good for me but maybe, just maybe...it'll be the start of the next chapter...giving it to God and entering the scary path of following Him completely. Maybe I will like it and I have to fit it into my already full life.

So as of today, I love this fruit. I also appreciate this little object lesson God gave me. Like following the directions of opening this delicious fruit, I need to be aware that He knows what is best for me, and it took a fruit that He created, to show me that He knows me better than I know me. He loves me more because He created me. He knows how much I could grow and mature in my relationship with Him...if I let go and trust Him. I know He cares deeply about me and I know His desire is for me to live life to the fullest.

But I first needed to accept this truth (and taste the fruit).

Ah, fullness in Him...now that's where I want to be...thankfully, it's never too late for that!
