Reminders that uplift

When you find out negative life changes to come into your life rather quickly all you can do is look to Jehovah for calm, peace and strength. This last week I found out some rather unsettling news and had to continue to hear it up until Friday morning. Then I still have to wait to hear the completion next week.

I found myself drifting in and out of crying spells alongside of talking to Jehovah. That release of allowing things to be let go of is nice. I just have been taking each day as one whole day. So sure in my most vulnerable moment I am finding strength and courage to take all that is pestering me, to Jehovah. I can't take it to anyone else.

So in these last two days I have found a plain calm. I have found my painting as a joy and going to sleep when I feel like crying. The goodness Jehovah pointed me to, to overcome this trying times. And as I sit here before my morning zoom meeting I find myself wanting to explain to the brothers about why I wasn't there, listening. Yet the idea of opening up past Jehovah is not what I need to do. So today I am hoping to find more strength within comments, the talk and the warming love that is shown.

That is all I can ask for right now because I am as calm and at peace with what I can be for now. Sounds like I gave up but I have not. I am still fighting and still leaning but I am with great hope and deeply invested in how Jehovah helps me bear through these times.

See as I wrote that I smiled. Most people, most women would not smile upon this kind of news but me, I am grateful. This is another area Jehovah sees that I am capable of bearing. What a grand gesture of kindness. It will help me with my compassion and patience. And I do need that experience and those characteristics.

Now the meeting is over and I found many points of references to relate the beauty of my prayers. Even more so are the kind beauties that Jehovah gave me to dig deeper into understanding who Jesus is to me. How more wonderful scriptures I did not note before.

These are the kinds of uplifting and loving pieces of life Jehovah gives. I am grateful. Now even more so is the honesty of forgetting the pain and disappointments I had reserved for this day. I am grateful that Jehovah reminds me that there are much more wonderful things to have my mind upon.

In this kindness I am ever thankful and grateful that there was the reminder of prayer, bonds with Jehovah and Jesus and the importance of self sacrificing. Just remarkable how Jehovah answers the prayers of a moment.

This is how I begin the afternoon. How about you?
