Today is an odd day. I'm tired. I need rest. I recognize that as my thoughts, emotions, and body say one thing my heart and desire says another. This is how I felt this morning:
I don’t know how to live life. I sit here at my desk at a loss. What do I do? How do I live? What do I say? What do I do first, second, last?
When I’ve been told so often that who I am and what I do is
wrong, by so many people, I have to say there must be some truth in
it. Pride would tell me that they are wrong, and I’m being persecuted. Condemnation
would tell me that I am wrong in every aspect of life and a failure in the things I held dear.
I’m not sure what to do right now so, I’m going to open the bible and see what God says, what His plan is.
REST REST REST - my body, my mind, my emotions...
Sometimes our days just seem a little off. I can't put my finger on why or what, but sometimes I don't try to figure it out and instead realize that it is just a day and for me to not get too down, but to also not feel guilty if I don't feel too up.
There will be days like this. It doesn't mean I've lost a battle or am weak, it just means that today is just a day and that I'm thankful to breathe, be alive, and I need to rest.
I write this post to help others. So they know that there are days that may not be the mountain top and they may not be a dark pit, but they are a valley to walk slowly through. And that it's OK.
