Reminded

I was reading my sweet friend Hannah Burton's blog today and was reminded of something.  She discusses a passage in Sara Young's book "Jesus Calling".  I'll let the passage speak for itself.

"Come to Me with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in Me you are complete.  As you rest quietly in My Presence, My Light within you grows brighter and brighter.  Facing the emptiness inside you is simply the prelude to being filled with My fullness.  Therefore, rejoice on those days when you drag yourself out of bed, feeling sluggish and inadequate.  Tell yourself that this is a perfect day to depend on Me in childlike trust.  If you persevere in this dependence as you go through the day, you will discover at bedtime that Joy and Peace have become your companions.  You may not realize at what point they joined you on your journey, but you will feel the beneficial effects of their presence.  The perfect end to such a day is a doxology of gratitude.  I am He from whom all blessings flow!"- December 17, Jesus Calling

In the days when I feel isolated from my friends in Denton.  In the days when, as sweet as she is, Taylor Swift's lyrics about ex-boyfriends make me question what I am certain of.  In the days when I fear leaving my family.  HE shall be my "cup runnith over".
