I love my Bible…
I used to think that when I needed that little extra something and my best friends weren’t around to talk to, that Disney movies were the trick to cheering myself up. That or I’d go on a nice long walk and think about stuff. (But that’s also something I do regardless of how I’m feeling…I just like walking and thinking.) Another option I’d resort to was watching Strong Bad emails (www.homestarrunner.com), that usually always makes me laugh.
But today I did what I knew I should have done in the first place. It’s silly really, a cliche…but it works. I prayed and I read my Bible. It’s a no-fail answer.
The funny part is that I’m not really sad. I’m just kind of numb. I don’t think the punch has hit me yet; what has made me feel this way is the shock of seeing it coming.
Anyway, I opened my Bible and started reading Hebrews (I always remember it as the faith chapter and I figure faith is what I needed to have.)
11:1 “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
10:35-36 “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.”
