In quietness and trust
Felt so lousy today I just slothed around at home all morning and early afternoon. As the stillness drove me to sleep, I woke up finding myself looking out of the window, staring into the heavy rain. So I sat up, thinking and convincing myself "I'm as sad as the sky.." and I never got over it. I thought maybe some fresh air and rain would do me good. So I took an umbrella and left. As I walked in the rain (NO, I AM NOT EMO) I had a nice chat with Jesus. And He told me to Hope in Him. So I recalled this song which chorus goes something like "My life is in You Lord, my strength is in You Lord, my hope is in You Lord, it's in You, it's in You." It was amazing because then Jesus gave me sunshine. The pouring rain ceased and the sun came out! It was glorious and it felt great to know that He is indeed a Living God who is always with you and hears your every cry and plea! Think Sunshine. Think hope, happiness, warmth, splendor. And I promise at that moment, it felt so, so good and comforting.
It was such a shitty Friday. Thank God for God. Though my world may break and crumble, His Word will not. I wish everyone a Happy Day and may you not run the race for nothing.
