Breathing...
Some days I have to remind myself the Lord never gives us more then we can handle. So when I feel overwhelmed with emotion - anger, grief, the why would they hurt me? etc. - I take a couple of deep breathes and I start to pray.
Some days I do a lot of praying.
Today is one of those days.

tales of a twenty something and her furry forever shedding companion
Sometimes the destination overshadows the journey. It's easy to measure our worthiness with milestones and goals, but it's the person that we've become that is the greatest reward of all.

A Prayer
Refuse to fall down.
If you cannot refuse to fall down,
refuse to stay down.
If you cannot refuse to stay down
lift your heart toward heaven
and like a hungry beggar,
ask that it be filled,
and it will be filled.
You may be pushed down.
You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from lifting
your heart toward heaven — only you.
It is in the middle of misery
that so much becomes clear.
The one who says nothing good came of this,
is not yet listening.

I've been to the Mountaintop
Well, I don't know what will happen now.
We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.
Because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind.
Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we,as a people will get to the promised land.
And I'm happy, tonight.
I'm not worried about anything.
I'm not fearing any man.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Martin Luther King Jr. - 1968
