pit stops

i don't know much about racing, but remember when i was young watching movies or something and the pit crew would hold up signs for the drivers racing around to come in to the pit.

guess that's where i am

for whatever reason i'm in a pit stop

i guess they'd change tires, lube, whatever was necessary to keep the car in order so that it could continue the race

perhaps that's what God is doing for me

personally i'm tired of pit stops, especially when they take a while and take me back to the pit of despair and bring with it feelings of despair and wanting to escape

wonder how the driver felt being out of the race - knowing, probably that it was needed, but possibly feeling "what a nuisance"

although, in truth, a nuisance it's not - at least not for a car race

maintenance is necessary to keep it going

what maintenance or preventive care am i needing?

I know exactly what you mean. Definitely not a fun time, but it's a time where we grow and change the most.
