You ever have one of those weeks? You know, when things don’t go at all like you thought they would Sunday night as you went to bed? Yea, one of those weeks.

That would be this week for me.

I’ve been sick, like a cold and just nasty stuff since Sunday. However, I’ve been blessed to have my voice hold out for Overflow and RE (which both were great this week). Other than that, its just been a dirty, no-good week. Typically, when I feel like this, I get very grumpy and tend to turn into “5-year-old Chris” (which if you haven’t met him yet, then you haven’t seen pitiful yet).

I was praying today just about life and about this week and other things, and I felt so selfish. I wanted to just yell and punch and get my way out of this week. Then I was just quiet. I just listened. The only thing that I could focus on was this: My love is strong.

So simple and so true. In times like this, it takes the quiet and the still to remind me of how tightly I’m held constantly. His love is strong. It’s stronger than any horrible week, and it’s stronger than any horrible time I could go through. His love is stronger than my will to fight Him.

Life right now for me is in a season of learning and of growing. It’s not easy nor the most enjoyable, but I see the fruit ahead. I had a good friend tell me that I need to wake up recently. I need to realize the opportunity that I have right now to grow in the Lord. I will never have this much free time in my life ever again (scary thought, ehh?). I pray for growth and for stretching every day, so that I may gain all that I can out of this time. So that I can really feel and see how strong His love truly is.

How’s your week going?

One.Love
