Yup I said it, I would rather chase rainbows than stare at your half empty glass. Don't get me wrong I see the glass, I just don't care! We all have bad days and I get that for you every day may seem that way, but for me well I like to chase rainbows! I would rather sit in the sun and watch but
terflies, dance in the rain, or take a nap on a lazy afternoon then stewing in my own vinegar. Cause if I stewed in it I might drown! If you leave something sit in its own juices too long it rots, wine that isn't put in the fridge turns to vinegar and you know what they say about vinegar and flies.
So honey, give me some honey!!!
"Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air…"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I had a bad day, I had a long week, I felt the pressure and the strain and yes I was glad to go home and yes I am looking forward to Monday. Call me crazy but life is crazy and this is my crazy life! I love it! I trust God that he leads me down this path! We are all chosen, all called. It ain't easy and it ain't for the weak! God doesn't need a wimp, he doesn't need a whiner, he doesn't need any vinegar........HE NEEDS YOU!
We all have bad days, weeks, months, years, and moments. God hears us, he sees us, and he knows. Instead of turning to vinegar give it to him! When was the last time you hit your knees. Hey, I'll admit it, I don't pray as much as I could, but when I'm on my knees its worth it! When I go to him he does the impossible...............
This morning on my way to work I heard one of my all time favorite songs and at the end of the day I realized it was what I needed to hear before I needed it, you see he already knew what I would need because it was his plan for me. So let me leave you with the lyrics because maybe he meant them for you too!
Oh what I would do to have The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in On to the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is And He's holding out His hand
But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me Time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win!
You'll never win!"
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says,
"Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says,
"This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I would choose to listen and believe
the voice of truth
Another rainbow chaser and proud of it! Thank you for the encouragement today. I really needed it. Ever sense we have announced that we were adopting there have been moments were I have felt chewed up and spit out of the enemy's mouth. This past week was my lowest point. Perfect encouragement :)
