The past few days have been difficult ones. I hate when people do this, but I am forced to do it now - I 'm not at liberty to share why (those closest to me, know).
When hurtful, distressful things come - we run a gamut of emotions, thoughts and plans in our minds. "I'm going to do this!" "I will say this..." "I'm never..."
But I find a Voice within that continues to speak Truth to my heart and my mind. He faithfully brings His Word to me, softly - He doesn't shout. I can choose to ignore Him, or I can choose to listen.
This time, He immediately spoke the verse I needed most, "And let us not grow weary in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap if we faint not." Oh, I ignored it ... for a little while ... for a day...maybe a day and a half.
By last night, I had accepted (again) that everyone doesn't like what we do. I remembered Who I am serving, Who I must obey. I yielded my will to His will...once again.
And then this morning, I decided I would read my devotional first...before my daily Bible plan. I tried to use my new IPad (Thank you, Dear Brother), but couldn't remember the long list of numbers that make up my wireless password. So, I went to get my phone (what did we do before technology?).
I finally got YouVersion open, found Psalms 12 - and the first words are the title, "For the choir director:..." That's when the dam broke and the tears flowed and I knew again without a shadow of a doubt that my Loving Father knows, He cares. When I started this journey He said, "I'll be with you." And He is.
Only God...AWE-SOME!!!!

I didn't realize all this was going on. So thankful God worked it all out and quickly too.
