Struggling Well With Life

I absolutely love working in the yard. I had a massive truck of mulch delivered last week and was in hog heaven out there with a pitchfork and a wheel barrel. Only one thing interrupted a perfect day of escape, and that was disappointment. An unmet expectation, turned to disappointment, turned to hurt, turned to an unraveling within me. I spiraled for hours, praying internally, asking the Spirit for counseling and discernment, but could not wedge myself out of a funk that had taken over. I seldom have my cell phone outside - sort of defeats the purpose, but I heard the tone, and though I was annoyed that someone would have the audacity to invade my sanctuary of brooding, I answered. It was someone very dear to me, who had picked up on my heart, and simply spoke truth to me. “Don’t let your hurt turn to anger”. They caught me just in time. I love how God works.
