Have you ever had a day that you were smiling in the morning, crying at lunch time, angry in the afternoon, and then happy go hopping by the end of the evening? It can wear you down, can't it?
I have had a few dates mark the deaths of some people in my life, I have a wonderful man in my life that I am excited to have in my life, and yet I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. I don't understand it. I am trying to analyze it. I don't feel sad; no not really.
There are some things I want to change in my life and there are things that have changed that are good and bad, but no these things shouldn't bring me to tears.
Someone once told me that crying was a way of cleansing your soul. I don't know about that, however my eyes are red and sore from all this cleansing going on.
So do you ever have days like this? I feel like a roller coaster and the bar is loose.
I have one hand holding onto that bar and the rest of my body is hanging and ready to fall.
Perhaps this is just part of being a woman. Do men ever feel this way? If they do, why don't we know about it? Did God give us this emotional roller coaster to keep life interesting for those around us?
As I write to you, I think of Hagar. Hagar became pregnant with Abram's child. After finding this out, Hagar began to treat Sarai poorly. Then Sarai in turn treated Hagar harshly enough to send her out crying by the springs in the wilderness. In the midst of her tears and emotional roller coaster, the Lord saw her. He began to talk with her and comforted her.
How special is that? The God of creation came to this woman that most of society would disregard as favorable. Yet, in He reached out to her.
I don't have a reason for my tears though and I know He is telling me that He sees me.
There is no explanation as to why I feel the way I do. I guess I just need to enjoy the ride and hang on for whatever comes around the corner.
Enjoy the journey with or without tears.
~Be encouraged; God sees you when no one else does and is with you in your wilderness.
