Where Do I Go?

I have been reminded this week of the old song
"I Go To The Rock"
The verses pose these questions:
where do I go-where do I go? when there's no one else to turn to....
who do I talk to? when the winds of sorrow blow....
is there a refuge in my time of tribulation?
where do I go - where do I go? when there's no foundation stable...
who do I lean on?
well, my mind is bad...the memory is going...I have botched it
pretty good but you get the gist I hope!
the point is ... we can talk and talk and talk to people, friends,
family, co-workers, preachers etc....the ONLY one we can
get a TRUE answer and direction from is THE ROCK...
His name is JESUS!!!!

I find myself almost six months into this year 2009 STILL weary!
This journey of life is taxing to say the least. To be a true Christian some
days is a real challenge. When the fiery darts from the enemy
pierce our hearts it's not easy to always offer the other cheek also!
I have been put to the test more than once in the past couple of
weeks, and I am proud to report that I have FINALLY learned
to 'temper' myself. (some anyhow :)
But I will admit that the ALWAYS POSITIVE - LOOK AT THE BRIGHT
SIDE perspective that I possessed early in the year has WANED just
a bit!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, NO-- I'm NOT ....I am human and I am STRIVING DAILY
to maintain and possess those wonderful Fruits of the Spirit....
I don't ALWAYS make the mark. Who does?
I don't apologize for that....The important thing is that when I am
KNOCKED DOWN...I might be winded at first...take a moment to
process/filter....but do not fear... I WILL GET UP!!!!!!!!

The Word says not to be weary in well doing...I don't know exactly
what that means...but I AM weary...I am tired...I am stressed...
I am TIRED of being TIRED and STRESSED!!!!

Pastor preached this past Sunday about how we are in Gods Hands...
Those hands are loving and protective...caring...forgiving....but OH
when they begin to SQUEEZE our lives....NOT SO LOVING it seems!!!!
We just want to be let go and left alone.
I am in a contemplative state at this moment. I have so many questions
that need answers....everything pretty much in my life that can be shaken
HAS been shaken...I have been SQUEEZED painfully....
I have been lied to and betrayed by those dearest to my heart....
Where Do I Go? Where Do I Go? I feel no foundation is stable!

I WILL GO THE THE ROCK...I KNOW HE IS ABLE.....
