One Of THOSE Days…

This is all about when you're having one of those days. 

One of those days when the tears come and you may not even know why. 

Those days when you find it hard to breathe and have lost your center. 

Those days when something or nothing may set you off. 

One of those days when you feel the need to lash out or hunker down. 

Just one of those days....

On those days when we feel like we are literally hanging on by a thread. Those days when our prayers feel like they are bouncing off the ceiling and we don't know where to turn for relief. We may feel like we are completely alone, just know that you aren't. Reach out to a friend or take some time alone, whatever your soul may need to rest. Pray and cry out if you need to. Visualize the thread you're hanging on to and replace it in your mind's eye with an anchor. Hold on to that anchor for dear life and when you can get a hold of it, take a seat. Sit in the rock-solid bend of that anchor and let God hold you. 

I love to be known as happy and smiling all the time. His joy is truly a wonderful thing! But, today I had one of those days. 

Tonight, I will let Him rock me to sleep on His anchor. 

Tonight, I will trust that He hears me even if it doesn't feel like it. 

Tonight, I will remind you that you are not alone on those days. 

We have each other and like a very sweet friend reminded us a couple of weeks ago in Bible study "we are all just walking each other home." Let's shower each other with grace, love, and understanding. Let's celebrate the good times and comfort each other in the bad. Let's remind each other that God loves us anyway, even though, and just as much as He always has.

Love is the hope that anchors our souls.
