things that are hard to understand




Doubt can be one of the most debilitating things.   Especially when those questions are asked about Jesus, God and Faith. People, situations and circumstances are strategically placed in our lives by the One who created us.  Those people transform us. Those situations force us to grow. The circumstances turn our eyes to the heavens and call out His name. 

At the same time, doors are closed for a reason. People are taken out of our lives for a reason.  We are human, so that means we focus on the immediate reactions, emotional and physical. Where as God can see the whole beautiful picture of our life.  

It is one of those days.  Actually....let me rephrase...it is one of those months. I know far too many people in terrible situations with their ex-husbands, friends or significant others.  I know people who have lost some one prematurely to death.  The economy has so many people struggling to provide.   

I forget how big our God is. 
"well i think i need the rain today
pounding down on me
it's reminding me that i'm still alive
or supposed to be
and it's good to watch the clouds today
and the ways they move and roll
i guess it helps to ease my troubled mind
to know that someone's in control
so show me the way to find myself a better day 
'cause i'm barely holding on
i need you here to wash away these doubts and fears
and hold my hand tight till the dawn" ~ foolish things
