"Blessed are You, Lord, for bearing us up, for carrying us when we are weak, for supporting us when our strength fails, for emboldening us when we feel afraid. You care, dear Lord, sustains us like nothing else in the entire world." Psalm 68:19
This past week has been pretty rough. I don't like to write out the personal stuff on here. I get ill when I see super personal Facebook statuses discussing all the details of people's problems. As my students so often say, "Ain't nobody got time for that." However, when we have down weeks, it's nice to know that there are still people that care and that God is still watching out for all of us.
We all go through this. Weeks that we're down and out. Weeks that we feel so amazingly alone. Weeks that seem to stretch on forever and ever and ever. These are the trials that life gives us. However, reading this scripture gives me hope and faith that God is always carrying me. When I feel such doubt in myself, He supports me. When I don't want to go on and am afraid, He gives me strength.
Yesterday, I went up to Boone to spend the day with my mom. She took me up to Howard's Knob to see the view of Boone. I've lived cocooned in the mountains my entire life, but the view up there was simply breathtaking. I made the comment to my mom that I couldn't believe that there are people that don't believe in God. His beauty is everywhere.
He gives me strength. He gives me faith. he carries me when I am weak. Somehow, just somehow, that will get me through this crazy life.
