Need I say more?
I have definitely realized how easy it is to go crazy due to the amount of stress that builds up during these weeks at college, and I know one thing for a fact, I cannot do it alone. A couple weeks ago, I let a ton of craziness, heartbreak, and confusion, blind me from seeing the rainbow. The beautiful, hopeful, creation that radiates with peace, as a reminder for us, when we are going through the pouring storms. Lucky for me, once again, I had sweet Lyssa to point my eyes to the sky. She printed me off a poem that has been helpful to her, when the tough gets going. I loved it then and loved it the 50 other times I have read it since then, and I am loving it tonight. I spent my whole day in the library and still need 10 more hours to my day to get ready for my exam tomorrow. Therefore, the frantic panicking began. I reached for my Bible, took out this poem and read it twice ....
I REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED-
I refuse to be discouraged, to be sad or cry
I refuse to be downhearted, and here's the reason why..
I have a God who's mighty, who;s sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me, and I am on His team
He is all wise and powerful, Jesus is His name
Though everything is changeable, My God remains the same
My God knows all that's happening, beginnings to end
His presence is my comfort, He is my dearest friend
When sickness comes to weaken me, to bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God, into His arm I go
When circumstances threaten, to rob me of my peace;
He draws me close unto His chest, where all my strivings cease
And when my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control;
He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul
The great "I Am" is with me, my life is in His hands,
The Son of the Lord is my hope, it's in His strength I stand
I refuse to be defeated, my eyes are on my God
HE has promised to be with me, as though this life I trod
I'm looking past all my circumstances, to Heaven's throne above
My prayers have reached the heart of God, I'm resting in His love
I give God thanks in everything, my eyes are on His face
The battle's His, the victory is mine' He'll help me when the race.
Lyssa was definitely a light for me that day.
Don't lose hope or get discouraged..God has got this. He is totally rooting for you all the way and is with us ALWAYS.
Look to the rainbow & Stand in the rain. I promise You won't drown:)
Heavenly Father,
It is hard to comprehend the depth of your love for me and why you care about the details of my life, but you continue to hold true to your promise and you continue to deliver me. I am grateful that in difficult times you are with me, walking beside me all the way through to the other side of stress and trouble. Thank you for your faithfulness & thank you for always working things out for my good. I love you with all my heart.
Your daughter,
Lexi
