It Is What It Is

[Yvonne Shannon]

Unfortunately, things are just what they are , better yet things are what they seem. I've heard many people use the scripture " to call those things as though they were not " However somethings you just can't call , it's just what it is. The problem may then be what to we do when "it is what it is"? Well, we can always "close our eyes" put our fingers in our ears, or just simple put just pretend. Yet, there is one other solution confront ! I've heard people say well I'm not a confrontational person, neither was I. Often I hear my mother say refering to my 18yr old son, "he just thinks it will go away". Well, like they say"an apple doesn't fall far from a tree". Yes. I just thought if I would ignore the issue at hand it would simple go away. Have you ever been here or there? Honestly, I'm still working on the saying and the doing " I'm not going to sugarcoat anything, and call it just like it is". Well , I'm learning to be effective within ,often times we have to keep in mind that "it is what it is". Now the question is how much time must we spend in prayer to confront ? Yes God has not given us a spirit of timidity but of love and a sound mind, and self control. So perhaps that's where the problem lies. Father, I ask you to give me self control when I see and know "it is what it is" Be blessed!
