Walk in the rain

Things have been such a mess in my life lately. It seems that situations never just happen in singular form but rather we are bombarded from all sides at the same time. The greatest bomb was dropped a week ago when my sister, a friend and I were involved in a car accident; thankfully we are all 100% fine but have been left without a car and all the hassles that tag along with the situation: finances, insurance, insecurity and blame. As a result of all of this, I was unable to go to work for the week and was unceremoniously fired.

So here I am: car-less and job-less. But I refuse to be hopeless! Somehow in all of this God has taken my hurt, my insecurities, my cries of unfairness, my despair and my anger and blanketed it in an unexplainable peace.




I was listening to a sermon the other day where the preacher said:
It’s all about the cross,
Run to the cross,
If you can’t run: walk
If you can’t walk: crawl
And if you can’t even get up to crawl, just look
Look to the cross.

“I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I am at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question? The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can, and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions...” Romans 7: 23-25 (MSG)

I’m looking to the cross, are you?
