the peace...

the kind of peace that passes all understanding.

the kind of peace that can come only from above.


i am feeling peace underneath. underneath the prickly points of fear, doubt, and uncertainty. underneath the sting of pain and pins and needles that are threatening to drive me utterly insane... there is peace. the kind of peace that can come only from Him.

and i can sit here and wonder all day. wonder why i am stuck here, and not up north where i could be of more use. i can wonder why the faithful struggle. i can wonder what it would be like, this way, or that way. i can worry about all the possible outcomes, and let my mind wander wildly.

or... or.

i can feel the peace that passes ALL understanding. the kind of peace that can come only from Him.

i can believe that in a world that doesn't make sense, one thing does.

i can believe in a God of miracles.

i can believe in a God who not only hears my prayers, but cares about what i am praying.

i can believe in a God who desires to give me my hearts desires.

i can believe in a God who saves my tears, a God who treasures my emotions.

i can believe in a God who knows better than me.

i can believe in a God who sees all, knows all, created all.

i can believe that i am taken care of. that my family is taken care of.

i can believe in a God who loves me.


so i am trying to chose the later, i am trying to bring that peace, that peace that is hiding underneath, to the surface. bring it up over the prickly fears and doubts, over the pins and needles and uncertainty.

and i am trying to remember that i am not in control. and if i was in control, Lord help us all, because pretty much i am a screw up, and i would screw things up irreversibly.

so, if you think of it today. pray for my mother in law. she is in surgery today, and we are praying. and we are wishing we were there, and we are praying some more.

we love you donna... you are in the hands of the Great Healer, and that is a perfect place to be.
