So here I was, driving up the hill through the fog and gloom to drop off Karen back at her house. Been a really weird day, with me not knowing how to respond to someone's sadness (again, which also makes me wonder about my abilities and whether I can be a doctor/teacher who cares for people and knows what to do...), and with people just not being in their normal shape. After I dropped off Karen, I began to drive home... then decided to take a detour and take the upper way home. Strangely, the scene begins to brighten somewhat, and then I realized that I can see the blue skies. It was, well, freakin' amazing. It's not anything I haven't seen before, true. But it also served to remind me that God is telling us, "Keep walking. I know it's hard, I know where you are and what you're going through right now, but I'll be with you and with those I love, always." Then boom, and you see it, and you realize, Oh, He isn't speaking crap at all. Why was I doubting Him?

Hey, take care, alright? I'll keep praying for you, and I want to talk to you if you don't mind (gimme a call!). These pictures are for you, and also for anybody whose day seems so gloomy and dark. They don't capture a tenth of the beauty... but I think 1/10th of God's glory in that is quite cool already =)




"30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:30-33
