"...Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: Thus slowly one by one, it's quaint events were hammered out- and now the tale is done...the dream child moving through a land of wonders wild and new, In friendly chat with bird
or beast-and half believe it true..." -Lewis Carroll

A Little Reflecting

Things have been stressful, to say the least, for the last few weeks in Wonderland. Make that the last month. Not much has changed, but for the moment, my outlook has.

I'm feeling pretty positive and have enjoyed my day quite a lot. As I was having my prayer time this morning, a feeling of absolute peace and joy swept over me. I was SO happy to have the ability to go to a quiet place and  pour out my worries and fears to the LORD. No, the situations won't change immediately, but there is great relief in rolling over some of the heaviness of the cares of this life onto more able shoulders.

Oddly enough, while I was at the gym earlier, that same feeling of peace and joy came over me again. There I was sweating it out on the elliptical and I was all of a sudden aware of God's presence in my life.

At a time when lately my days have been filled with a lot of anxiety and stress, these little moments are like little drops of ice cold water running down my throat...giving me that extra little push I need to make it through the rest of the day.

Life is mountains and valleys. Tomorrow may be a day when I'm completely overwhelmed and cannot find or feel God no matter how hard I try. Being able to remember that just a day before I was so aware of Him makes those dark places a little more bearable. Just because I can't feel God at the moment, doesn't mean he's not there.

  2. Amen! and Amen! - I do believe he sends us those special moments of peace/joy so that we can have something to reflect back on and to remember that He is always there, no matter what, 'cause we're always very quick to remember or wallow in the stresses of the right now. LUBAB!!!
