{mosimage}This is not the life I would have chosen for myself. No. If I had my way, I’d have been married by now, actually I’d have celebrated my fifth wedding anniversary. I’d probably be driving my some mom-mobile filled with at least one child, and I’d be dreaming of more children to come.

I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but can also say to this mountain, Go, throw yourself into the sea, and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. (Matthew 21:21, 22)

While free-lancing for business magazines, I was assigned to write a story about a steel production company that supplied pipe to the energy industry. I was intrigued by the rigorous stress tests run on each piece of pipe. One procedure involved a “hydro test” – water was pumped inside the pipe until a pre-determined pressure was reached. The pressure was maintained for a set duration of time; weaknesses or flaws in the pipe caused leaking or bursts of water. If there were no leaks or bursts, the pipe was approved for delivery to a client.

I am moving through different spiritual seasons of my life from Princess to Martyr to Servant (although to be honest, sometimes I make u-turns…).
The Princess Stage
In the Princess stage, I want everything in my life to be wonderful. I expect peace and harmony in all my relationships, others act correctly and kindly, having enough money in the bank to pay all the bills plus a comfortable savings account, finding the perfect parking space at the Mall, good grades from my children and my husband to be always attentive (noticing the new eye shadow I just bought) – basically where all is right in my “kingdom”.

Have you ever allowed unresolved situations hurt important relationships? Or lashed out when dealing with difficult people? Or allowed people to continuously push your button? Most of us answer yes to one or more of these questions. These are simply signs of conflict, which can be defined as competitive or opposing action of incompatibles, struggle resulting from incompatible needs or demands. Conflict exists when two or more competing responses or courses of action to a single event are considered. However, conflict does not necessarily imply hostility…although hostility can become part of the situation. Conflict exists in our work place, our home life and our church life. How we handle (resolve) conflict is a sign of leadership.

Somewhere towards the beginning of April the country makes a conscious and collective leap into spring. We call it Daylight Savings Time. Here’s the concept. Move your clock ahead one hour and…voila! Everyone “springs forward” and gets an extra hour of evening light.

Have you ever marveled at the beauty of a stained glass window? This art form comes alive with the beauty of multi-colors and reflected light. It quietly speaks to our soul in a way that is uniquely different from other forms of art.
