Bumps in the road...
I'm in a funk. It's been a week of interesting 'news' of sorts. Things I can't stress over or worry about or even attempt to control. I guess I'm okay with that, even if I don't understand. But all week as I've been crying and praying and journaling and singing all I keep thinking about is how do people without a Savior get through the bumps in the road?? Who do they turn to? Whose arms do they run to when all their friends and family are preoccupied? How do they unload their burdens and hurts? I am so thankful for my heavenly Father who catches my tears. A Father who listens to my moanings when I can't find words and understands exactly what I'm feeling. A Father who lets me rant and rave about life being unfair and simply loves me through it. A Father who will wrap His arms around me and let me weep until no more tears will fall, or will even let me sit in silence and simply offer His peace in return. I have His words, countless scriptures, to bring me comfort, too. Without Him, walking beside me , sitting with me, and even carrying me at times, I don't know how could I function...in the good times or the bumps in the road.

*hugs* I've been in the same place this whole past week. I've literally been living by Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
I don't know how non-believers get through it - I don't know how I got through it before I came to Christ - I honestly don't remember how I handled it (not very well, is my guess)

Praying with you and for you and your family during the bumps. Leaning into HIM is always the right thing.
