It's funny how hindsight works. Even when you start to look back on what has happened, you always leave with a sense as if you've looked ahead to what will occur. In what I am now calling my "Great Escape", I have ended up in the L.A. and O.C. counties gaining enlightenment from the mentor that is Life. To give a quick a synopsis of when I started to realize the script for this stage of life began, I would have to say scene 1, (or maybe it was the Prelude/Prologue), began this time two years ago.
The hero/villain/comic relief of this story, (aka "me"), enters the tale with sort of a recently troubled history, but with the resolve and prospect of develop himself into a more consummate young adult. Things go well the first few months of this new self-innovation period; there are new friends and acquaintances, new confidence, and new commitment to faith and church. But then the unexpected happens: strong feelings for someone of the opposite sex, (I know... who could have saw it coming). Unexpected attraction leads to a wounding attachment in an area of living the young man had no previous interest in pursuing before. In short, this new experience of emotions lead to the hero's 1st genuine heartache.
Being the most unfamiliar of emotions, the heartbreak lead to unwillingness, and an unfulfilling life style for this youth. But as He has many times before, God situates the young hero in dire circumstances as a way to reveal and grow the youth's character. The hero takes a year off of school to take care of his grandparents, and finds that the brokenness of his heart has lead to the renovation of his mind and spirit. Hardly any of the journey was easy; and at times the path just didn't seem clear. But it all worked out for the best
I wish I could go on a bit longer, (possibly look over and edit this before I post), but I have a midnight deadline that I'm cutting pretty close to. Wish I wouldn't have taken a nap. I've always strongly disliked them, and I think they feel the same way toward me.
