Hi...yeah, me again
Despite all my own insanity going on over here, I've been noticing and praying for many of y'all here who are going through your own rough times; be it sickness or loss or depression or financial troubles or uncertainty or hope deferred or fear or change or tough decisions...
There's a heck of a lot of heavy hearts around here.
And yet you're all still here, still fighting, still treading water, and I'm proud to call y'all friends and brothers and sisters in Christ.
So here's my question for everyone:
Assuming that we all love Jesus and He is the main reason we get through the day...
What are some of the other things that help you get by? Things that kind of rescue you when you feel like you're about to be pulled under?
These can come in any form; people, memories, places you go, things you do...just anything that God has placed in your life that gives you that little bit of strength or hope or peace when you're on the verge of calling it quits.
Some of mine:
~my noisy, screaming, crying, funny, smiling, cuddly kids
~unexpected reminders that I make any kind of difference in anyone's life
~a cup of coffee
~watching the sun come up
~discovering that I can do something I previously wouldn't have even tried
~painting
~singing the same song over and over
~watching cars on the highway and imagining where all these people are going
~a scalding hot shower
Just, you know, things that remind you that you're alive and that help you keep going.
