A Hard Day

Yesterday was a rough day. At the end of the day, I told Cary I was so glad it was over. It was hard emotionally, and yet it was such a blessed day. One of those days when you find out who is in your support system-no matter what. Family and friends. Praying. In town and out of town. The body of Christ, doing just what it was meant to do. A friend used to tell me that crisis was just a phone call away, so we always need to be ready, prepared to face the test. I told God yesterday morning that I wanted to do it right, to keep looking to Him and not dwelling on myself, pointing the people involved to Him. I had that opportunity. I wanted to really live out in the tough times what I believe, and give Him the glory in the end. God was gracious. The crisis was pretty much over in 24 hours. Not everyone has the same ending to their story. I've walked with God long enough to know that the hard times end up making us stronger and knowing Him better, and that makes it all worth it. Today I am blessed, and He has once again proven Himself to be everything to me. He IS good.
