This is a post from a while back. Somehow it never got published, but it's still relevant to life so here it is. I hope it is a blessing to you.
Sometimes life is not happy. That's definitely something I've learned.
In the midst of preparing for one of the happiest days in most people's life, i find myself in the depths of depression. And there are lots of things i can point to for the reasons why, but they are personal and unnecessary for my point.
My point is this: In the midst of all of it i have a choice. A choice to allow myself to continue to wallow in self pity and pain or lay down my life before God and trust His greater plan. The plan that says, "Your pain is for a reason, and you need to trust Me with it."
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." - Romans 8:18 (ESV)
Slowly, day by day, i am learning to find peace in the midst of His presence. I still haven't gotten the joy thing down yet, but i hope to some day. And in the meantime, i will take this one day at a time. Waking up every morning and choosing to trust God and give my day over to the Creater of life and ultimate Provider.
