Time to give up?

I've been known to be a person who is driven and relentless. I almost never give up on something that I set my mind on. But are there some things where, there is a right time to give up? When is the right time to give up? Do you use your logic, or emotion? Or perhaps, both?

In searching oneself deeper to find answers to these questions, perhaps a more important question begs to be answered: what is the purpose? If the purpose has deviated from its original core in the situation, perhaps it is time to give up. Do we give allowances for things that do not go perfectly as we want? Now, that is another harder question to answer. How much does one compromise and wait?

I do not have answers to these questions. I am searching, and searching. And wishing that things were so uncomplicated. Does simplicity exist anymore?

Too many questions, too few answers.

Take a moment to breathe. Look into the clouds. To the moon and stars. To meditate on the bigger picture. To come to a place of serenity, and peace. And there, the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

I do not know the answers, but I will trust in my God who will guide me. Amen.
