So I just realized that my last post says Wed. the 15 and that this one is going to say the same date. Who decided midnight should be the next day anyways?? thats annoying.
Besides that. I am feeling so productive! Not only am I organizing my life for college, I have time to blog! Let me tell you a little something. I learned something important today. Basically it is a word picture.
Something in my life goes wrong. I am hurt, angry, misunderstood...whatever the negative situation prompts. I am enclosed in a small cylindar, mad thoughts rushing around me. I can't escape the intenseness of the negativity. I am surrounded by it, it is weighing me down. I can't forget about it no matter how hard I try.
CUT.
There is a sunset. It is beautiful and it takes up the entire horizon. Before me is a vast ocean which is limitless. All of it represents God. He is big in my life, stretched out before me, so glorious that I cannot help but gape at the awesome power and majesty of it. As someone comes up beside me and pulls my gaze away, frustrating me and making me angry, I can take those thoughts as they rise up, one by one, and lay them down. I place them in the ocean, not so they can float away into oblivion, but rather that God can take them and I can fully trust Him. There is so much space. No matter how many thousands of thoughts and emotions I have, I can just keep laying them down, spreading them out. There is no pressure. No desperate feeling of being trapped with my anger and hurt.
Choose the sunset. That is where I begin when I feel stuck.
God is good all the time.
All the time God is good.

A wonderful word picture, and starting place. May the healing it initiates be a glory to God!
