A moment of praise

     I only have a few minutes to type this before I head into my next class - but I wanted to make sure I got this out there.  

     Yesterday, I had a moment of weakness and let you all know about it.  I hope you weren't doubting that my faith is still stronger than it has ever been.  I was just having a rough week.  But right now, I am perfectly okay! 

     I am sitting on the floor in Gilmer Hall, waiting for my next class.  And I knew I needed to be uplifted - after last week and the impending election, I am a mess.  I am downtrodden and weary.  And so I opened my laptop and decided I was going to put on some praise and worship music.  And boy did that help! A beautiful song came on.  And it truly touched my heart.  There was a beautiful Bible verse recited by a child,  

The Lord is the everlasting God the creator of all the earth. he never grows weak or weary. no one can measure the depth of his understanding. he giver power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31



And these words hit me hard.  Yes, I have had a rough week.  But there is nothing that can or should bring me down.  He is still here, He is still holding me.  And so, I have found that new strength I so desperately needed.  I feel like I can finish this race!
