I need an umbrella! Today has been a terribly upsetting day and it feels like dark clouds from above opened directly over me to dump torrential rains a-top my head. Downpour is easing up, but showers are expected through tomorrow evening. The SHOWERs tomorrow will be much more pleasant than the downpour today because my co-works are giving me a BABY SHOWER! It's also a going-away party for myself and a few other co-workers. I expect to see clear skies tomorrow night, as much joy will hopefully have ventured back into my world.
I don't really wish to go into details about the stormy weather today. I am, however, looking forward to tomorrow. Updates tomorrow, and a new weather forecast to follow...
Oh, one last note: A friend posted the following on her Facebook, and it did help me feel a little better...
"I used to think that God's gifts were on shelves one above the other and that the taller we grew in Christian character, the more easily we should reach them. I find now that God's gifts are on shelves one beneath the other and that it is not a question of growing taller, but of stooping lower and that we have to go down, always down to get his best ones." ~ Frederick Brotherton (F.B.) Meyer
As I have felt that the world cut me in-half today, it almost makes me happy because they did me a favor and brought me closer to God's grace. And although sometimes it feels as if I am struggling alone, the above posting reminded me that I am certainly not.
