Journal Entry 11/10/2018

I just read a post on Instagram that said something in the line of “do not rely or build your life around the promises of people” and it really resounded with me due to things I’ve experienced. But if that was the start and end of it, then it would be a miserable reality… for me anyway.  I wasn’t built to do life on my own.

As a Christian, I am thankful for the hope I have in Christ. It is a life-saving, life transforming hope. God has his promises for his own. Promises that are sure as he is. I ought to learn them, hope in them and live on.

On a cloudy day like today when memories of disappointments (inner and outer) may threaten to overwhelm, it especially helps to remember. Come rain, come shine,  I don’t have to rely on others, neither do I have to rely on myself; I can rely on God. He works through us all. Our disappointments, let downs, set-backs, everything. So, as I write this , I inhale and exhale, sigh and stretch, ready for whatever comes next.
