Its the week before finals and my roommate and I decided we wanted to rearrange our room. However, she wasn't here when I rearranged but we talked about how we wanted the room and that's how I arranged it. When she got back later, she really didn't say a lot. I could tell by the look on her face. The room was still messy with clothes, books, and other things scattered everywhere. It was 11:30 pm. I was tired and cranky and I honestly did not feel like moving anything else. So we talked about the room and the layout and how else we could do it to where we were both satisfied with it. By the time we figured it out, it was 12:00 am. We both had 8:00 classes. We began to move. It was a bit challenging because we had to move stuff all over the room just to settle in a tiny piece of furniture. Once we got all the furniture in place, we still had a HUGE mess to clean up. By this time it was 1:00 am. Neither one of us got to bed before 2:00 am.
I know this probably sounds like a way for me to vent off my frustrations. However, I realized that God is like this sometimes. Like the roommate that changes their mind. My roommate wanted to move the furniture around until she found just the right layout for the room. God is like that too. He puts us in situations that frustrates us, challenge us, and even encourage us. When we first go through those situations, we are not able to see the good that will come out of it. We become focused on the problem instead of the solution. We become tired and aggravated just like I did with my roommate. God is patient though. He knows the good that will come out of situation. Just like my roommate knew the room would look amazing in this layout.
The next time I find myself in a challenging situation, I need to look to God to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
