choosing happy

today has been a tough day emotionally...well, it started last night...waves of emotions...and so to think of a thankfulness...well, it's tough...

but i am trying to learn from the children of israel in their ridiculously long trek through the desert to the promised land...that every time i come to a place that seems hopeless, discouraging, fearful, etc...if i murmer and complain, am i not risking being sent back out in the desert to wander a little longer? maybe not, but it sure seems that way...

so i am trying to release all of these situations to God...to the One who makes a way through the waters...the One who can lead me through on dry land...

and i am trying to remember that pharoah said "NO" a lot before he let the people go and even then he chased them down...but God had the final word and made a way...

so today, i am thankful for a God who makes a way in the desert...to the One who calls those things which are not as though they were...to the One who has the final say in it all...
