This past week has been trying and exhausting. It has been most uninspiring and seemingly stuck in a rut. Like a man waiting for his ship to finally come in but realizing that he is a lone Captain of that ship sailing in rough sea’s without a rudder and having no navigation for the dark clouds. All news is bad and the light on the horizon always seems to be false hope. I am ever confident that the storms will pass only to hear more thunder and be pelted by the rain. Things could always be worse because I am still afloat. For that I am Grateful anyway. I sail on. I feel at the very least fate will place me on dry land once again. Is it fate or faith? Sometimes you have to wonder. But for now I’ll hang on to hope again. It could be that I could find a way to repair the rudder and the clouds will clear enough to steer myself in the right direction and land somewhere peaceful and calm.
I can't see or hear what song you have playing, but I thought I would share one with you and why settle for one when you can have two!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is Praise You In This Storm by Casting Crowns~
"I was sure by now
God you would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "AMEN", and it's still raininig
As the thunder rolls
I bearly hear you whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
and takes away
I'll praise you in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For you are who you are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this Storm"
The second is The River by Garth Brooks
"So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say your satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance that TIDE
And I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
There's bound to be rough waters
And I'll know I'll take some falls
With the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...
Hope you can keep a song in your heart. You are right... Where there is Hope, there is a way!
Man do you ever answer your phone?
ReplyDeleteJohn, I'm sorry. Every moment lately has been an inopportune time. Call me in the morning. Just a whole lot going on. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteWhoever you are. I can see by the amount you wrote in your comment that you tried to encourage me. You did! The song was Yellow by Cold Play. I am not familiar with the songs you suggested but music seems to help sometimes. I will search them on youtube. Thank you very much. It's nice to think a friend may be out there somewhere. :)
