Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5
Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Last night, I was a little hurt, a little devastated, a little scared, a lot angry...and I was reminded by a dear friend this morning that's ok.  Christian's are allowed to have emotions and feeling and STRONG ones at that...they just aren't allowed to live in them...to wallow in them...to let them control us.

God is in control.  Just like He has been.  And where I have seen every ounce of Him in this entire journey, He still is.  Right here in this mini storm with me.

I still love God above all else, He still hasn't let me down not once.
...and I know and trust that He won't today. 
No matter what the outcome may be.

And my eyes are open through emails and texts and encouragement from 2 special dear GOD GIVEN friends that are pointing me straight to Him, just how blessed I really am.
Just how important being surrounded by spirit filled sisters really is.
They easily could have jumped on the "HOW STUPID" bandwagon about possibly passing out the criteria before the classes...but they haven't.

They have prayed, lifted, quoted and encouraged me beyond belief.
They have shown me God....because He lives in them...(and me) just like He promises.
They have lifted my weary arms like friends did Moses when the battle began to turn.
They have cleaved and clawed into God's word and sent me promises to stand on.
and they have made me laugh with smelly armpit comments. (in a thank you response I sent Jackie, she said she would only hold up my arms if I took a shower after yesterday sweating in a 200 degree attic with me).
God has blessed me so much.
God has opened my eyes and my heart to so many things...
How could I possibly be upset about any of this.
Even for a night?
But I was.
and He knew and heard...
and He loves me anyway.

But the night has passed and today is a new day. 
And I will rejoice in the Lord.  Because He is GOOD and His mercy endures forever.
And He will NEVER leave or forsake me.

Now is the time.

Now is the time that I have to walk the walk instead of talk the talk.
I can be so full of positive encouraging advice, telling those I love when in stress and doubt and struggle and anger and claiming promises telling others how to, when to...but when my world gets shaky I need to walk the walk.

I need to trust MY LORD...no matter what the circumstance.
And I do.
And I will.
Because He is good.  Has been, will be and no matter what He may see down the road that I don't.  I trust Him.
No matter where this lands, I am in His hands, safe secure and PEACEFUL right where I belong.

REJOICING
And there I will stay.

I am looking forward to the inspection at 4 and the fire inspector called just this morning and he is coming out today as well...so we will REALLY be done with everything at once.
One way or another.
and I will be carried...all my life.  And trust.  And be thankful for everything I do have.  And accept "HIS WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in Heaven".
