sometimes things happen...like you're at the grocery store, or driving down the road, or just sitting there, and BAM! LIFE! it slaps you in the face. hard. and then runs away laughing leaving you to pick up pieces you didn't even know you had, and feeling disoriented from its attack. sometimes LIFE is so heavy, the situations so real and tangible, the inner turmoil so burdensome that all one can do is sit and stare. tonight i'm wearing my emotions like a bath-robe..heavy and damp, wrapped tightly around me. my mind is under the pressure of a thousand elephants, my heart is equally weighed down.
but, i smile. because i'm not in control. i almost want to laugh that kind of laughter that people do when they emotionally snap. you know, the laughter that turns to tears that turn to rage? but i don't need to laugh. i need to rest. i need to be still. i need to breathe deeply and smile. because i'm not in control. my heavenly Father is..my God is, my Savior is. "be still and know that I AM GOD" ....and i, well i'm not.
Very well said!
