And so I find myself journeying the desert paths again. Isn’t is a bit frustrating when you think you’ve navigated through something and then it returns with new vehemency?
Anyhow, through what can definitely be described as a difficult few days, I’ve been finding comfort in this verse:
(I copied it straight from facebook, it doesn’t actually say ‘Vicki is’ in the proper Bible version, sadly, and I was going to delete that bit, but then I thought I’d keep it) Anyway…
I’m not crushed because I am a child of a King and therefore I can always look beyond these circumstances, these events, these struggles. What feels nightmarish here is only temporary and there are good things coming which cause it to pale and vanish.
I’m not in despair because I have no reason to despair. How ever tricky life is to navigate, I know utterly that God is in control and that he will not step back at any stage. He has proved it before and I believe 100% that he will in this.
I’m not abandoned because I have a God who is right by my side, and some fab friends who keep me on the straight and narrow, who laugh and cry with me, who show Jesus to me in a myriad of ways.
I’m not destroyed because I’m choosing to walk on. To believe that God has a purpose in this that I can’t see. To trust that he uses all things for the good of those who love him.
