Got to go to church last night, which was a very good thing...had missed last weekend. Walked into the service feeling down in the dumps, but left feeling much more hopeful and optimistic. I have to continually boost my morale, and preach to myself about faith. I do such a lousy job with that, and it's a constant effort to hold my head up sometimes.
I sound like a droopy drawers, but don't mean to. I just want to be honest. I think folks have such high standards of sharing sometimes, and I think it's necessary to be blatantly honest instead. We pretend all's well, when the opposite is true. Grin and bear it. Well, nuts to that. We're having financial hard times and there's no shame in that. Wish the Lord would come in and remedy all of it, and He might, but in the meantime, I have to behave as if I believe He is what He says He is.
He speaks and things happen. I have to quit worrying about what I can actually see, and trust Him to take care of things. And you know? Just saying it causes me to sit up a little straighter.
