A Peculiar Thing

To whom mucho is given, mucho is required.

(I kinda re-worded that just so it doesn’t roll off the backs of our eyes like every known scripture does…or at least that’s the way it is with me.)

So, I’ve noticed a very peculiar thing ever since I got back from heaven. Life is not easier…no, not at all. In fact, with every new revelation or thing conquered, life is harder AND easier at the same time.

Let me ‘splain this the best I can.

It’s like life is a mountain range, and with every new mountain conquered, well…you thought that you’d have “arrived,” and “overcome the world,” but you haven’t. There are just more Mt. Everests to climb.

But you also have more expertise to climb them.

However, I’ve noticed that every once in a while, the ENTIRE game changes. As in, your sight used to be black and white and now it’s in full color, or the next mountain range is under water and you have to grow gills like in Harry Potter, or the next mountain is on the moon—so you have to purposefully weigh yourself down because gravity isn’t there anymore…

Which is what I’m struggling with right now. I’m struggling with life being a bit too easy. It’s weakening my bones. It’s like God has handed over the gravity button and now I’m in control, and Lucifer is muzzled to the point where he just attacks the people around me. Or just my ankle. Which sucks, too. But in a different way for my own experience.

So, this weakening of the bones is real in a figurative sense and in a literal sense. (It’s funny how that sometimes works out, isn’t it?) the ENTIRE game has changed for me not just since the Jump, but in the past year my understanding of a deep doctrinal truth has made my life mucho easier and mucho harder at the same time.

I suppose it’s like having your first baby. It’s like, life will never ever ever be the same.

And so, it’s a very peculiar thing.

What peculiar things have happened that changed your entire life?
