Trials and Mayhem: A Conversation

All of us have heard the expression, "when it rains, it pours." When I arrived from Nicaragua, I promptly contracted an eye infection after trying to remove a contact that was no longer in my eye. I scratched my cornea badly. Acrimony often follows painful events; I am glad to say that was not the case for me- at least on that occasion. Part of my peace came from discerning the season  in which I am.   The other part came from knowing that nothing can separate me from His love (Romans 8:32). Meditate on these scriptures:

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens: 
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot, 
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend, 
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate, 
a time for war and a time for peace.

Stop for a moment and ask God in which season are you. I pray that knowing the season will give you a measure peace in your storm. Remember, Y'Shua is still in your boat.

Questioning and listening too,
