Ever had that feeling in your stomach-the one that feels like some one socked you and it takes breath away? Where your mind is not able to think straight on one thought much less concentrate on what you are supposed to be doing? Around is this whir of chaotic noise, you cry out and it echoes in an empty room, you are left cold, alone, and have nothing to turn to. Then all it goes still, something envelopes you-it takes the pain, the noise, the confusion. You break as you know that you already are broken. You fall down yet it does not mean you are forever going to be there, you are picked up, set up to stand tall again. You brace yourself, thinking that you are going to be hit yet again but this time some thing blocks the blow coming your way. He is there in the middle of it all. He didn't just show up-He has been there the entire time. Why did it all happen, why did you have to be in the confusion and pain? Why did He let it all happen? Why didn't He stop it before He started? I don't have all the answers, I don't know why. But He is showing Himself strong, He is showing that He is God and I am not. What else matters? I am to the point where there is none but HIM. There is no one to turn to, no one to run to, no one that I could say I love more than Him. This is where He wants me, you may not see the reason-neither do I, but listen to Joshua1: 9 "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest"
Moving on. Today we went to Egg Harbor Café. I enjoyed a wonderful bacon and ham skillet along with fresh fruit and banana bread all washed down with delectable coffee. It was the mail room crew along with a few others. Fun times as always!
We went to the Messiah at Moody Bible Institute on Sunday and it was amazing!!!! Afterwards we went to the Cheesecake Factory and had an awesome time just hanging out and enjoying decadent Tiramisu Cheesecake along with raspberry lemonade. (Don't ask me why I am all about writing the details of my food, but I must say it is fun to write about)

אני אשיר מהרחמים שלך שיובילו אותי דרך עמקים של צער לנחלים של שימחה
