This, too, Shall Pass
God is who He says He is. God can do what He says He can do. I am who God says I am. I can do all things through Christ. God's word is alive and active in me. I believe God.
Today's entry is one I even struggled with the decision to put to life. Basically, unless I am about to break I don't air my dirty laundry anywhere, let alone the world wide web. But, if you know me at all, you know that I can express myself so much better and more clearly when I write it down, or in this case, type it out. Maybe it's the writer in me, I don't know, but whatever the reason, I've always been able to express myself through writing so much better than in words.
But, I'm not gonna write down every little thing on my mind right now. Honestly, I don't have to. God knows what's weighing on my heart and mind right now. And guess what? He's not at all surprised one bit about any of it. You see, He's already heard about it, seen it, and He already knows how it's gonna turn out. Yes, that gives me peace. But, being the fleshly human being I am, I still feel the need to let it play out in my head in all scenarios, dwell on it, simmer in it, and let it turn me inside out. So, with that said, I want to thank myself for being the pitiful human being I am.
Sometimes when things out of our control creep into our lives, we decide to take the road we know we shouldn't. Anger and strife reside along that path and oh yes, we have to pull up in the driveway, get out of the car, and knock on their door to make sure they're home so we can go inside, have a cup of tea with them, and stay a while. Then finally when we get our fill and allow ourselves to get out of the way, we let God finally open the door and we allow to hear Him say, "I've got this. You don't have to carry it alone. I've been here waiting."
Ugh!!!! Why, oh why, do I let my faith weaken? Even though things seem impossible I KNOW that with God, ALL things are possible, even those that seem more than impossible. I have to wonder if every time I go down this road, does God shake His head like "here she goes again."
Now time to take a deep breath and let it out. This, too, shall pass.
