Strands of Sorrow

Hi friends, how were your days?

A confused patient spat medications mixed with applesauce at my face+glasses this morning. These were my favorite glasses; I recently got new lenses in Macau too. Guess the Lord was teaching me still the lesson to hold all things with an open hand, even glasses. Then someone accidentally walked in on me while I was peeing this afternoon. I felt so embarrassed, hoping that they didn't see me because I was in the middle of wiping my butt. I'm also slowly recovering from deep and grievous discouragement from a super painful time interacting with unkind people who I, sadly, call my relatives at a cousin's wedding yesterday evening.

But otherwise, all is well because of God's great love.

Each strand of sorrow has a place
Within this tapestry of grace;
So through the trials I choose to say:
"Your perfect will in Your perfect way."


While driving the long journey back to Reseda from San Juan Capistrano last night after the wedding (with poofy and swollen eyes that were also blurry from all my crying), I listened to ^ that song on repeat a few times. That stanza stuck out to me and was a good reminder that God's will is perfect and that He is still in control.
