"There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept. Things we don't want to know, but have to learn. And people we can't live without, but have to let go."
How painfully true this is.
This quote just continually leaves me "wordless" which is actually a fairly hard task, because I LOVE to write (I mean, I have a blog. Duh.)
There are certainly things that are happening in my life right now that I wish simply weren't. There are things that I wish I could have just shut my ears and not heard. And there are people leaving, that I would rather stay.
Ultimately, I am dissatisfied. Life isn't really going how I'd like. I wish bad things wouldn't happen. I wish I could have innocent ears forever. And I wish people wouldn't go.
One of the reasons that I love Criminal Minds so much (besides making myself so scared that i am scared to sleep at night) is the quotes embedded in each episode. They are often very relevant and applicable to my life, especially for a show that seems to be so disconnected from my reality.
This particular quote was said by JJ, who was leaving the show at the time. It just rings really true for my life right now.
Don't happen. Don't know. Don't go.
"Here we stand. Our hearts are yours. Not our will, but Yours be done." I happen to be listening to "Wake Up" by All Sons & Daughters and that line was repeating over and over.
Criminal Minds gets me to think. But Criminal Minds does not offer me hope. God is right there through the unwanted things. He is there when we learn things we'd rather not. He's there when people leave.
Take heart, God is still there.
