You're the only one who brings me peace...

So many days lately, I have felt like a raft caught out to drift in the vast ocean. Lost without anyone realizing it. Life is full of furry, and it can pound relentlessly across the deck...forcing me to just hold on. I have felt a lack of control over whats going on and even my emotions and responses to the situations. Part of me is realizing that some let downs and situations just keep knocking me down, which is just making me numb or hardening my heart. This is simply something I must be vigilant guard against.I need to be purposeful in spending more time in the word...soaking up all the healing and fortitude it provides me. God's mercies and graces overwhelm me.

Life is full of turbulence, but peace will never be a reality in this world. Peace is found in the midst of these bumps in the road. Faith doesn't eliminate the darkness; it gives us something to cling to. Peace is found within. We as Christians often head straight into the fire and difficulties of this life, the difference is we are armed with the light and promises of God. One of which is peace.

United Pursuit Band- "Running in Circles"

"I'm so forgetful, but You always remind me
You're the only one who brings me peace
You're the only one who brings me peace
So I come, Lord I come I come, Lord I come
To tell you I love you
To tell you I need you

To tell you there's no better place for me than in your arms
To tell you I'm sorry
For running in circles
For placing my focus on the waves, not on your face

You're the only one who brings me peace
You're the only one who brings me peace

In the storm In the storm"

To walk away from something you love....

Today just sucked.

I had to make a tough decision...to stand up for myself or to continue to just be undermined/challenged and disrespected at every opportunity.

I chose the first, and in doing so, lost something I love.

Hopefully, I will get that dream back one day.

Disappointment

"There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love."
- Martin Luther King Jr.

People can be just crappy.

Of course, this is because we are imperfect beings who, even when attempting to follow the lead of the one and only example of perfection, fall way short of the mark...I mean we aren't even close. We fail epically.

I just want more from people...

I know that the only one who I can 100% count on all the time is God. God showed us a love that transcends all understanding. We must shine this light to the world and be better friends, neighbors, sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, co-workers...people.

The world will know us by our love. We have to be the example of loving unconditionally so that we can spread the Gospel.

His Love Endures Forever.
Psalms 136
