Today, I woke up feeling "HEAVY". Not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally, & mentally as well. Its like I sensed something isn't right. Though I tried to share my thoughts through my status on facebook earlier, it still wasn't enough. So I began praying, which was the only thing I knew to do. Even after that, I felt better but I still feel something different in the air. There have been so many deaths & tragic events that have happened lately, and my heart goes out to each and every family and loved one that has had to experience these difficult times. A classmate of mine was just killed a few days ago, and though we weren't the best of friends, it still hurts. At first I didn't feel anything because I was in denial, but the more I think about it, the more I see that it is indeed real. I may have to do my first Resolution reading for a deceased classmate at her funeral and it is starting to settle in my mind that this is indeed real. On top of that, I feel overwhelmed with some things in my life & just need to take a time-out. Man, life is so real & I'm realizing more than ever that we don't have time to sit around. We must be about our Father's business. I know God is a comforter & peace in the time of the storm, so I have no choice but to trust him! I am still hopeful & I know all will be well. We just have to learn to accept whatever God allows. The experiences that others have gone through may very well be valuable lessons to us. When God gives us warnings on certain things, we must take heed. I don't want to miss the warning signs because whatever it is that God has in store for me, I would like to receive with open arms! Continue praying everyone and live your life the best way you know how...especially a life that is pleasing to God! In the end, only what we do for CHRIST will last!!! I love each of you!
Hey girly...just coming over to give whatever comfort I can. I'm such a sap when it comes to the hearts of others. If it were up to me I'd try to remove all of their hurt or whatever they were going through. But I understand God takes us THROUGH for a reason. With that said, I know that whatever God is showing you at this time in your life is for your benefit even if it hurts. You'll come out purified and with a great testimony, something that will encourage someone else. My prayers for the family of your classmate, you, and your class. It may not be easy reading her resolution by I'm sure God is preparing you for that too. He is sovereign even in the difficult times. Blessings to you. And remember: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI had been meaning to check on you after I saw that you were going on hiatus. I had to do that last year around this time. I just needed to get away. I think it's about due time for another hiatus for me as well. It really helps my spirit.
ReplyDeleteHey Aud! I apologize for just now responding. Girl, I truly thank you for words of encouragement. Though I feel much better now, I still need to read this. Through my struggle comes strength and I'm thankful for each and every encounter I've gone through. I'm not fully gone, just taking a break from the business because I'm moving among other things! But yes maam, joy definitely comes in the morning, and I'm thankful! Love you much girl and thanks for supporting & stopping by as always :-)
