It is what it is

It Is What It Is-Lately, this phrase has been coming to me quite frequently.
It is true that there are a lot of things in my life that I wish were
different but I also know that they are what they are and wishing for
different circumstances is totally futile. Instead, I have learned to accept
my situation and, with God's help, to carry as best I can.

The primary area that I have had to accept that "it is what it is" is in the
area of my physical health. No, I don't want to be completely paralyzed and
unable to talk. Who would? Having said that, though, "it is what it is". I
figure it is really up to me. I can feel sorry for myself, which I do plenty
of, or I can suck it up and do what I know I should be doing. Things like
reading the Bible, especially healing scriptures, praying, praising God,
going to church, etc. And then trust God for my healing in His way and time.

Recently, I have another "curve ball" thrown at me. I admit that one of my
first thoughts was, "Haven't I suffered enough already?" But I have since
collected myself, told myself that "it is what it is" and am preparing, or
trying to, to deal with it.

Another area that I feel like "it is what it is" is in relationships. With a
few exceptions, I don't have very good relationships with other people. I often use my communication difficulties as a reason for it . Anyway, "it is what it is". A few quality relationships are better a lot of superficial ones.

I lead a lonely life. Lonely as far as communication with other people is concerned. But I am never truly alone. God is always with me and I can communicate in my mind with Him anytime I want. I do love my alone times with God  but, at times, it feels like a bit much. But, "it is what it is" and I am sure it is the way that God wants it right now.

One thing that I have always had a tough time dealing with is all the things other people are doing that I can't do. At times, I feel so left out of "life". At times like that, I have to remind myself that my turn is coming. Until then, though, I just have to accept that "it is what it is"

So, yes, I do have situations in my life that I have to accept as "it is what it is". For now. But I also know that, with God, any or all of these situations are subject to change at any time.
