Something Else

You know that feeling when you know something has to change? You know something is gonna suddenly happen? It's like you've been holding on to some hope that you can't quite describe but it's there. Something good....something good has to happen. There's been too much and too long of "this too shall pass." It's to a place where you just anticipate good but you think if you anticipate it too much and it doesn't happen, then you don't wanna be heartbroken again. You don't wanna get your hopes up and you don't wanna invest too much because what if... But if you don't have hope at all then it's just too much to bear. These are the times that I don't know what I would do if I didn't have a heavenly Father. He is my only hope. He reminds me that there is something more. Even while I wait, He's there. Even while I pout, He's there.

Some of you know that I am a huge Sara Groves fan. My old blog was named after one of her songs. Anyway, the chorus of her song "From this One Place" is playing over and over in my head....and I'm glad. :)

From this one place I can't see very far
In this one moment I'm square in the dark
These are the things I will trust in my heart
You can see something else
something else

I don't always read The Message translation of the Bible but I love the translation of Romans 8:28.
"Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good."
