alisonsellers - Rounding off the Edges

We've all heard the phrase, "it's like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole."

Well...this is me. This is how i have felt here living in GA. I'm a Boston girl, independant, and head strong. I'm used to having it all together, not needing anyone. But in these past 6 months i have had all of this taken from me and have been taught so many lessons, and this has so been my season of refining fire, and meeting resistance head on.

It's gets tiring. There are times you just want to say enough is enough.

This season that God has me in is one of learning. I'm being taught alot about myself and also about others. I'm learning about obediance....even when you feel like you should just give up because you're the square peg trying to fit into that round hole.

I was overwhelmed by this feeling the other day while having a conversation with a roommate. I heard the defeated words come out, "i'm just a square peg trying to fit into a round hole." I saw my roommate nod, and I heard my voice begin to continue to agree with it.

That stuck with me for a few days. Again i was sitting in a meeting with my roomates and this thought crossed my mind again..."You're a square peg trying to fit into a round hole here...you should just go. You don't fit here."

But a quite voice spoke to the inner parts of my heart, "you may feel like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole, but I'm rounding off the edges."
