I found out today that I have a mild case of the flu. My husband is working on a big project at work and so I am on my own this weekend. I am going to have to do the laundry, grocery shopping, etc by myself even though I am not feeling good. I don’t feel bad about it though because of what I wrote yesterday.
As I drove to Walmart today, I realized that often when things don’t feel great, I tend to think it is going to last forever. Yet nothing ever lasts forever. And even if it takes a long time to change, I know that God is always there to guide me through whatever darkness I have to go through.
I think about the dark times of my life like tunnels. I have to go through them. I can’t go around them and I can’t avoid them. When I enter them, I know there’s going to be a point when I can’t see the light from the beginning of the tunnel, and I won’t be able to see the light from the end of the tunnel either. At that point, my faith has to be strong. I have to put my trust in God and let Him guide me through that darkness. I believe that He will. It doesn’t matter what darkness I must face. He will guide me. It doesn’t matter how long the tunnel may be, He will lead me for as long as it takes. I will follow Him. That’s what my faith means.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
