The decision you make today effects the life you have in the future.

Today was a very difficult day. It reminded me that we live in a fallen world. I am still trying to digest everything I went through today, it feels unreal. Oh but it is definitely real! The sad part is I feel the pain but I can't quite remember all the detail of what happened. Frustrating! I guess I just want to blank it out of my mind.

Except, I had lunch with an angel who is amazing! ;)

When I finally got home I cleaned. Why you ask? When I get uncertain or frustrated with situations, I have so much energy and I want to clean. I think it is a blessing in a messed up way. After all the crazy cleaning was over, I made myself some din din, sat down, listened to a sermon and search in the Word, I found comfort and conviction.

Psalm 15:2-5

2 He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart 3 and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, 4 who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, 5 who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

Psalm 5

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing 2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. 3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. 4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. 5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. 6 You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors. 7 But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple. 8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make straight your way before me. 9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit. 10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you. 11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Big punch in the stomach! I am of flesh.
