A life is made up of years, which are made up of months, which are made up of weeks, which are made up of days. Day by day, that is how we live. That's how we reach goals. With persistance, with patience, with endurance.
Some days are good, some bad. God is good always.
Sometimes I feel like I have absolute clarity for decisions, and I am so grateful. But other days I stumble through in darkness. I wish I could see. I wish I knew. But then I realize, if I knew I would probably mess everything up. God's ways are higher than mine. He has a plan for me, to help me, not to harm me.
"Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up" (James 4:9-10).
That is a promise. I believe it.
