This past week and a half it has been difficult finding peace. Going from a camp that was filled with spiritual people who loved God and loved others. Back to duties, struggle; the wheel of life. Each day is a new adventures and I am learning the way that i allow God to enter into my life reflects my outlook, my attitude towards myself, others and the world. He fills me with his peace that surpasses understanding. I am able to find peace within life’s struggles because i allow God in on them. He brings healing, peace, and freedom. Freedom from the struggles of this world. It doesn’t mean that i don’t have struggles nor that i don’t “deal with them,” i do! I feel the pain when those closet to me hurt me. When i see how the world is filled with injustice, violence and sufferings. I feel it. But i am learning not to allow it to control me.Because i have hope!
I love to go for runs. I run because it makes me feel alive and free. I usually run with an ipod but i have decided not to use it on my runs anymore but to focus my attention on God; pray. It is such a release of all the thoughts, struggles, pain and worries. As much as it is a release it is a restoring. Restoration of hope, and love and inspiration.
I want you to know that like you i also have a lot of struggles but i also have abundant hope and unfailing love.
“I have told you these things, so that in me you ay have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Jesus
