Knowing v. Feeling
I have to confess that today I have let the flesh take over. I am grumpy. I am questioning everything and don’t know why. I KNOW that God has a plan. I KNOW that everything will work out the way that it is supposed to. I KNOW that life is good. I KNOW that I am amazingly blessed. I have nothing to be grumpy about.
So, why do I feel so grumpy? So lonely? So unmotivated? So discouraged? Why am I questioning everything? Why am I not content with the way things are? Why am I filled with doubt? Where did my trust, peace, and patience go? Why doesn’t what I KNOW match how I FEEL?

All questions I have had many times in this life. Sometimes, it just does not make sense. We have to live through those days the best we can. Giving honor and praise to God just for the breath of life, if nothing else. On these types of days there are two things I try and do, #1 - I try and have a prayer time, just where I give thanks to God for Who HE is and what HE gives me, sometimes there are long silences and I so want to cry out with requests, but I know I just need to see God for Who HE is and thank HIM, despite my feelings. Life is hard. Feelings... well, they are both blessings and curses at times. #2 - sometimes I just cry out to God and ask for help. I ask HIM why I feel so lonely or helpless. I lay it out... He already knows what I am thinking and feeling, no shock to HIM. Sometimes I think we can push our feelings so far down the majority of the time, that when they do surface, they boil over and overwhelm our normally gentle and calm ways.
No answers, just a note to say... I get it. I know in some way what you are feeling. You are not alone. It gets better, it always does. But it doesn't lesson how rough it is while we go through it.
Chin up my friend, cry our to our Fabulous God, the Creator of our inmost being.
