Today was a gloomy day. It rained a lot and wasn't very sunny. I also didn't sleep last night as you can tell from my previous post. So that was a great start to my day. Anyway, today was good. Despite the fact that I wasn't feeling well (still sick), and I was overly exhausted, I still felt some joy inside of me. Not at first, but during the praise time at church I feel that God really spoke to me, and reminded me that He is always in control.

Sometimes it feels like things that I've planned aren't going they way they seem like they should be going, or things that I thought were good things suddenly don't seem so good anymore. But the beauty in these situations is knowing the secret to still being happy and that secret I'll share with you - as it is something good we should all have in mind; even though you want what you think is good, if God doesn't give it to you, it only means that He has something even better planned for you than what you thought. It's like God is saying, "You think that's good?" when you show him a straight flush you have in your hands. Then He winks at you and says, "No, I want you to have this instead!" - and He shows you a royal flush. What an awesome God and promise is that to hold on to? You see the rain and clouds now, but just you wait - the rainbow will soon show itself.
Lyrics:
Sovereign in the mountain air
Sovereign on the ocean floor
With me in the calm
With me in the storm
Sovereign in my greatest joy
In my deepest cry
With me in the dark
With me at the dawn
In your everlasting arm
All the pieces of my life
From beginning to the end
I can trust you
In your never failing love
You work everything for good
God whatever comes my way
I will trust you
I just found this blog post, seems relevant.
Also, I read Esther 3 and 4 today. I admire her braveness when she says, "[...] I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish." (Esther 4:16 NIV)

All of me
Held in your hands
