recently i did an entry about categorizing women
well, there's another way to categorize people, both male and female this one is from a christian standpoint from a christian standpoint everyone is in one of 3 categories representing the place they're in in their life egypt / wilderness / promised land my understanding of this may increase with time but i'll go ahead and take a stab at explaining this based on what i know today 1. egypt is basically your old ways and your old friends, your old influences, your old cares and issues... egypt is basically your life prior to coming to the Lord 2. the wilderness is the transition period from the original version of yourself to the new version of yourself.. but its not just you, its also your surroundings.. so if there's a promise in your life- this is the time period between hearing about that promise and receiving it.. when you're in the wilderness u feel like you're kinda nowhere, u feel like you're just waiting and/or seeking and/or planning and/or believing 3. the promised land is basically when you get to the place Lord wants you to be... i didn't want to say "its when you're happy" because i can't confidently say that the promised land is always without suffering.. need an example? look at paul... paul was in a perpetual state of outward suffering, however i believe he was still in the promised land for his life.. so i wouldn't say the promised land is necessarily always fun.. however i would say you're always where you need to be and doing what you need to do.. you're on the correct path and there is a certain joy and a certain fulfillment there.. it may not be mansions and yachts.. but it is a place where if u remain in this place (whether physically or spiritually) then u will always have a certain amount of contentment and u will be in rightstanding with the Lord which simultaneously means u will have purpose in your life i believe i am in the wilderness personally the reason i believe i'm in the wilderness is because of my outward circumstances.. i do acknowledge that a person's wilderness could be more like spiritual than physical.. but for me personally i think it shows physically i believe i'm in the wilderness because of the things in my life that aren't where i want them to be and because of the things i lack overall its like this.. my life hasn't really ever come together.. its like i have all the puzzle pieces but i need the Lord to put the actual puzzle together for me.. thats how it feels anyway.. where are u? are in in egypt, the wilderness, or the promised land? i am grateful that at least i'm not in egypt.. i no longer do certain things i used to do that were negative.. the Lord has set me free from the captivity of egypt i have to make sure i don't long for the things i've been set free from and i can say right now that i don't long for them but i guess i have to have an active faith to reach out for and grab the promised land anyway.. one thing i want to say is i'm liking these "categories" entries i feel that they add a lot of depth to words, actions, circumstances, and situations when i know women belong in two categories, i can deduce certain things about them once i know where they sit when i know people only belong in 3 categories, i can know where they are and where they need to go these categories are like lenses u can put on at any moment to help yourself to see beyond the facade anyway.. just wanted to speak on those things.. peaCe
