I Envy Hard Times

Have you ever come out of a really, really, really hard time and found yourself way off the path that you were on during that hard time?

We come out of a really hard trial and we stop doing what we were doing in order to emotionally survive during the trial.

We stop ready scriptures.

We stop praying with a broken heart and contrite spirit.

We stop meditating. 

We stop exercising for us.

We stop journaling.

We stop listening to music that speaks to our soul.

We stop serving in every way possible.

We stop having a heart that is bursting with gratitude.

We stop pleading with God to get one foot in front of the other...

Madness brings us to humility.

Madness brings us to gratitude.

Madness brings us to God in the most pure way possible.

We hear Him.

We see Him in every second of our lives.

We feel powerful in boundaries we set for ourselves.

We feel REAL peace; not the kind the world could ever give us.

We are right where we need to be.

Strength is fully relying on the Lord.
