Today was really hard. I guess you could probably tell that since I am blogging for the third time today. I spent most of the day sobbing. I feel weak. I feel like I'm not doing enough. Am I doing what's right? I feel like this storm will never end. Where's my rainbow?
I talked to a friend today and she always says the perfect things to me. She knows where I am right now in life and in my walk back to God. I don't think I could do this without her.
I got through the rest of the day on her words even though I was tearful. I made the kids dinner, I helped with homework, I bathed them, got them ready for bed, cried with them for a while because we are all so sad right now. I put them all to bed, and I started on housework.
I've been plagued with negative thoughts and feelings today. Lots of pain and resentment. I felt like my brain was trying to overpower my heart. My heart which is set on God fighting my brain which is reminding me of the crap I am dealing with right now.
I turned on Pandora to drown out the thoughts, and for the first time in a long long time, I put on Christian music. I felt like my head needed to hear what my heart was hearing.
God knew I needed to hear Him today. First, He played Never Alone by Barlow Girl. I cried through the whole song because it's exactly what I was feeling when I called my friend. I felt like I was alone and God wasn't hearing me or wanting to help me. She said, "Trust in God." Trust the unseen....
After that a few more songs played while I cried into the dirty dish water. Then this one I had never heard came on. I have now listened to it several times and know most of the words because I feel God wanted me to be able to sing this when I feel like I'm weak and want to stop following Him.
I've said it before and I'm sure I will say it again, I pray constantly. Sometimes, God knows exactly when you need to hear Him.
