I am so glad it's Friday.
This week has been one upside down mess after another. Drama and a lost game. Everything off its normal schedule.
A complete mess.
Drama, messes, and I don't mix well. I don't remember lots of drama in my life until we moved. I miss care free and drama free days. It's so much easier on everyone. To say it's all taken a toll on everyone here would be an understatement. We are weary and in desperate need of a break.
Satan has definitely been winning, to say the least, this week. Nerves are fried. Relationships broken. End of the ropes way past holding onto points. Throw in an awful losing game last night and yeah... Thank God it's Friday!
Last night's game... not pretty. So now we have our next game(s) Saturday. Saturday could be one looooooonnnnnnggggg day. It'll all be good but still. We are all still adjusting to the heat and frankly totally not looking forward to a long hot day at the ballpark.
In the next few days lots of change at work as well. Souls are weary there with anticipation of just wanting it over already. Not their jobs just the build up to the "new" that has been talked about since December. Let's just say God has flipped everything in our lives over so much in the last 5 months it's been a crazy ride.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
I am so thankful that through this all God has brought peace this morning of "Don't worry about what was lost. I have a reason it's like this now. Your weary soul will find rest in me. I am working out my plan for you." I love his faithfulness like that.
Comfort and Peace.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
I don't know why God has allowed this week to play out the way it has for us. We are broken, a no better than anyone else people like everyone else. There is a path God is paving right now. Confusing as it may be I am thankful I get to walk his steps to wherever he is leading.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
So, as this crazy week draws to a close I am resting in Christ. I have given every inch of this week to him and know that he is moving and working. Moving and working in ways that I don't understand but that's OK I don't need to understand.
I don't want to understand.
He has his reasons and frankly that is enough for me.

Praise God for His goodness in a world of sorrow and disappointment! Sometimes He really is all we have to lean upon and hold on to.
