Lord,
We may have another storm coming, and frankly, I’m barely hanging on after this one. Trying not to eat my feelings. And if one more person questions global warming because it’s cold, I have some oceanfront property to sell you in the middle of nowhere. My nerves are frayed. My soul is tired. Don’t ask me my thoughts on world events. You won’t like it. You never said it would be easy, but I’m wondering…don’t finish that sentence, Regine
I know this isn’t the happy post you all are accustomed to seeing. I’m sorry. Maybe I’m not. It shows you my humanity. God is good. I never will dispute that, I just don’t like His methods sometimes. So, I will search for the bright spots even as my mind is chasing the rabbit.
Your turn?
Stay safe, Regine. ♥
ReplyDeleteI think changes in our atmosphere affects our moods. Usually storms like these make me stir crazy. This time I am grateful that I am stuck at home and don't have to do my hair - I know very superficial. I hope you feel better and more optimistic soon. I know it is very difficult in our world today. (hugs)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the birthday wishes. I hope you have a better week. I always have to stay off the internet and news etc when things are crazy. It helps me.
ReplyDeleteStay safe
ReplyDeleteCuídate mucho. Te deseo una buena semana. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I have to ignore the news and focus on the immediate around me...because I can't control the one, but I can determine how I'm going to act and respond in the other. But it is hard somedays. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteGuess what. You're allowed to have feelings and not all feelings are good. And I hear you on eating feelings. Mine don't taste like broccoli. But sometimes I eat them anyway. Lay low. Be safe. Find a good book or movie to watch, create something lovely, clean a drawer or closet, write a letter. Just view this spell as time for you with no obligations other than to stay warm and fed. We can all use that. You've got this. It's just a bad moment but it doesn't have to be a bad day.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything is fine on the next days.
ReplyDeleteUm beijo,

This storm, too, shall pass. All of them on Earth will! Of course while we're here, our bodies and minds are wired in such a way to want to avoid pain yet that is inevitable. Trying to stay focused on the eternal is what I'm trying to do especially when I read the news of unrest, chaos, bad weather, persecution, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt's all a test. Will we accept and be grateful even in the eye of the storm or will we abandon Him, doubt Him. The world is in a bad place right now.. but we are on the right side of it. It the more difficult road but when has doing the right thing ever been easy.. then everyone would be doing it.
ReplyDeleteNo apologies needed, Regine! Don't we all go through these struggles and uncertainties? We can always trust in God and His plans, and that is truly what we need to do in the end. Hang in there and know you're loved!
ReplyDeleteGod be with you Regine, and keep your eyes looking upward.
ReplyDelete"Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:2
The upward look is aoo important in everyday.

God is here. In the middle of the storms of life. Keep watching for Him and His messages to you.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,

Sometimes it helps if I break into a song I learned as a kid, He's got the whole world in his hands
ReplyDeleteIt has been rough lately. God wants us to lament and share our struggles. Sending prayers of peace and love.
ReplyDeleteWe all struggle. Remember, you are not alone in this. Especially with everything going on in this world, it can be hard. But it will pass. The sun will come out one day. Maybe not tomorrow, but the storm will pass. Until then, sending a virtual hug to you. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWe must always continue to look for the bright spots.
