A change of pace

I noticed that the past couple of blogs have been on the silly/funny/crazy/off the wall side and so today I have decided to do a more thought provoking blog. (I am not saying I don't like the silly/funny/crazy/off the wall post! I am just in a thought full mood)
Just like any good card game, life isn't always about what happens to you, it is about how you play the cards you are dealt. Though, unlike regular card games, the dealer will only give you cards that He knows you are able to work with (unless of course we make a stupid move, that we cannot blame on the dealer. He will however always help us when we make mistakes!). It is because of this that we can be sure that no matter how many twists or turns, ups or downs,and no matter how many "unfair" things happen, we can always count on making it out on top if we wait patiently for the dealers instructions. We must, however, follow his instructions exactly because he knows how the game will end and how to get you to the winners circle! There is one more player in this game,your opponent.... he does not want you to win! He will fill you with doubts, fears, and impatient feelings in order to discourage you from winning the game. What we need to keep in mind is that he has no real power over us and by just playing the game the best we know how and listening to the dealer we can defeat the other player GLORIOUSLY!!!!
What may be the most difficult part is that dreaded word... Patience! It seems to me that there are two parts to this word. The actual waiting (which is hard) and what you do in the mean time is the other difficult part. These worries however are also solved by the dealer. He is more than willing to teach us strategies and tricks and the more we listen to Him the closer we will get to Him and the more we will want to follow his instructions. I know that this wasn't a typical apartmentthirty blog and if you made it this far I am hoping it wasn't too boring but it is what is on my mind!

Thanks for listening
Love Dove
p.s. Good luck playing the game!
