Sometimes when I sleep...

[simka2]

There is this moment right between awake and asleep when I am relaxed...it was in that moment that I remembered (emotionally) what it was like to just trust in the goodness of God and the safeness of my relationship with Him. To simply talk to him without all these worries and doubts...to even be excited about the fact that I get to live in relationship with him.

Then I wake up...and it's tainted again :( the anger and questions come back. But for that brief moment...I remembered...

Those moments are sooo sweet.

Try and think about those moments like this. I have a friend who had a surfing accident. He injured his neck and was paralyzed from the neck down. His spinal cord wasn't severed, just badly bruised. It took time, but as he healed he began to get the use of his arms and legs again. It started out with just a flicker of movement but eventually he began walking again. He is pretty much as good as new, just a little limp, and a little weakness to one of his arms.

We have been badly bruised, sometimes it feels like we are broken and that we will never be able to trust and function again. But, just like my friend, you had a little flicker of movement. You remembered. Maybe, just maybe those moments of peace and joy will come more often. You will always remember the pain you went through, but I pray that those times of peace will outnumber the days of pain.

Kinda like that moment of slow motion.......That fascinating bend in time and space that I experienced as my car skidded sideways off the turnpike :eek:

Jerry. :rolleyes: :p Getting serious, I like those moments of feeling safe too. I often go back to moments when I was born again or when God made me feel special. I know that He has not changed, I am still special to Him. I'm so glad that He doesn't change.
