xanga comment (for posterity's sake)

sometimes, god allows those feelings of security and peace to get up and leave... so that you don't depend on those feelings to guide you. i'd call it His subtle way of telling you, "you're indeed growing and becoming stronger spiritually... and now, you're strong enough know to call on Me to get you through this storm... you're strong enough to trust Me, strong enough to ask others to help you trust Me... i want you to pass this test -- i KNOW you can! ...even if you don't feel Me."

when i feel the way you are feeling... and even in those times when i'm in complete apathy (*not feeling anything)... it's in those times when i remember one of my fave verses of all time, as darrell evans put it >> "Though the sorrow may last for the night, His joy comes with the morning." (Ps 30:5).

the feelings (or non-feelings) don't last forever.... it comes with the morning. and that's one truth you can count on time and time again.

...and there are others (other truths), but i'm sure aleady know them somewhere deep inside. admitting/submitting to them, though.... that's something else.
