When all is lost I found serenity in praying to God. What an awfully selfish thing I do! I rarely pray in time of peace. I've some how lied to myself; in thinking that since the Lord gave me a brain, and that all that I have achieved and failed was by my hands. Maybe something I did in order to feel better about not praying as often as I should have. I have given little credit, the are more things in the Lords control than in my hands. I tried to walk free and independent, telling myself that I was God. Inner peace has brought me arrogance. I should never abuse the privilege of inner peace again.
I haven't thought about my dad recently. In fact, I think I'm avoiding it. I feel rather ashamed, possibly I have not been "man" enough. Being a man means a lot to me. Being able to support myself in all areas of my life, and supporting a family as well. Sorry Dad, I'll try harder.
When something bad is going to happen, something inside of me shakes. Perhaps my soul. Nothing is shaking, I'm not worried. I'm just frustrated. Thanks for everyone who has been concerned about me lately. I'll be fine. When all seemed lost...I saw your face, optimism overcame me... |
