Do you ever find yourself saying words or phrases on a regular basis? They seem so inconspicious and under the radar, but after all is said and done, they’ve taken over your life?* Or something along those lines?
Well, to be fully honest, I tend to talk a lot and in my non-stop babbling, I have found myself saying stupid things or “Hannah-isms,” as my friend Erin calls them. I also accidently alter colliquialisms, such as when one “beats around the bush,” I substitue “dance” with “beat.”
But then I find myself saying “no doubt about it” after a plesant conversation or during a business meeting–but why? To what end point? I know I do not need a reason for everything, but that does not mean it stops me in my attempt to be more and more aware as each day passes.
After a bit of thought, I have come to the realization that I hold onto any shread of security or doubtless tenant in this insecure and doubt-filled life that I am a part of.
But again, to what avail? I live in a broken world and the ultimate truth and security can be found in one place–one Person–alone. My mind knows this, but my daily walk and even my heart does not exemplify this knowledge. As always, I am trying to change this through intentionality on my behalf, as well as through prayer and repentance toward my heavenly Father.
*P.S. This is a tad over the top, I know.
