Heavy

This week has been heavy.

The week began with the news that my friend’s 3 week old suddenly passed from this world. The heartbreaking needs of so many have been shared this week.

A lot of pain. A lot of sadness. A lot of needs. A lot of heartbreaking news.

A lot of searching for God. A lot of Holy Spirit moving. (I bet that phrase freaks a lot of “non-churchy” people out.). A lot of beauty.

Regardless, I choose…WE must choose to rest, believe, sit, trust, act on, share, live in God’s promises.

God promises are just that…promises. Defined as:

1. a declaration that something will or will not be done, given,etc., by one

2.an express assurance on which expectation is to be based

3.something that has the effect of an express assurance;indication of what may be expected.

4.indication of future excellence or achievement

The words are few. The thoughts are constant. The pain is great.

The days are heavy.
