Just thinkin...

Now that I've had a day and night to adjust to my new state, I don't feel as empty and weepy I guess you could say. I was pretty upset and it seemed my nose stayed a constant red from crying.
But I keep hearing this scripture, The joy of the Lord is my Strength.

We get Joy from the Holy Ghost when we have a re-newing. We get joy when we read our bible and God speaks to us. We get joy when we open our heart and ears a little more and are able to hear God say words to you that you have prayed.
For example:
One thing I tend to pray quite often is for us (the church) to lean unto God. Not to dwell on our understanding on life and situations or circumstances. Though we may not understand at that point in time, it's ok to lean on God. B/c He knows all, see's all, hears all. It's ok to just talk to Him and tell him your heart. One thing I keep holding onto, is that this happened for a reason. That God wouldn't allow this to happen to punish me, or to be mean to me. But he is allowing it to happen for reasons I don't currently know, or may never know. Having Faith in Him that he will see me through every test, trial and tribulation will in the long run bring me closer to him.
Which leads me to the other scripture I keep hearing.....draw nigh unto me and I will draw nigh unto you. We should always draw closer to him. not just in the bad times, but in the good as well. He is a Just God. So whenever something happens to just throw you off your rocker, remember that God see's further then you or I. He knows what's best for us. He knows the end from the beginning. He knows our hearts and he knows what we can and cannot handle. Remember he won't put more on us then we can bare. When it seems that it's too much for you to bare, that's when you lean on him for support. He will see you through all things.
Have Faith.

I guess I said most of this for my benefit alone. Writing it out sorts through all these thoughts in my mind. I do know that I have more peace then I have had. I know others are praying for me.
Anyways....
Have Faith.....
