This is the Day…
May 14, 2009“This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.”
It has been almost a year now since my last post. “Life” has happened so extensively, so quickly, so heavily… I cannot begin to recount it all in this entry. I hope to share my journey in upcoming entries, but for now – something about this verse spurred me to return to my blog this evening.
Perhaps it is because I simply feel compelled to write something after such an extended absence.
Perhaps it is because I feel finally ready to share with the world the journey I have been in these last few exceptionally difficult months.
Perhaps it is because God is revealing “deep things” to me that will have a lasting spiritual impact on others who read this.
But at the moment, it is because it is 12:30a in the morning, I have just finished 5 arms-only laps in the pool at my gym, I have only had to take 1 Vicodin day, my office hours felt productive and spiritually impact-ful, and I feel as if life may be slowly creeping along the long road back in the direction of “normal.”
I feel as if I’m on a turbulent, unsettling, awkwardly-jarring rollercoaster ride where I don’t know if tomorrow will be smooth and breezy, or involve a giant corkscrew plunge to the bottom.
I write this almost as if to cement this moment between me and God… An uncertain moment of certainty that no matter what happens… (Job 1:21) everything WILL turn out ok.
And for this moment… I REJOICE
