Well, the INDY car race at Texas Motor Speedway was rained out...again! I don't think even I would try driving over 200 mph with wet spots on the road. (He said sarcastically) The race had to be rescheduled for August.
Just within the past hour our skies here in DFW when from sunny to dark and we had one MAJOR downpour. Things that people had planned to do outside will have to be done later. As in life, not everything we plan and hope for come the way we want. It was 16 years ago this month, that I thought I had my "dream job". What I had invested time, money, education, and experience in fell apart. This was NOT how life was supposed to go.
If you live long enough you will experience hurt, pain, loss, betrayal, disappointment, and discouragement. It's been a difficult weekend. A difficult week, and for you, I don't know maybe this has been a difficult year already!
Last evening, a friend of mine said how words of a song were heard in a new way. It reminded me of a song that was new to me that I heard one evening last week.
Read the lyrics of this song entitled, Eye of the Storm -
When the solid ground is falling out, from underneath my feet,
Between the black skies and my red eyes, I can barely see
And when I’m feeling like I’ve let down by my friends and my family, I can hear the rain reminding me
In the eye of the storm, You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
When my hopes and dreams are far from me, and I’m running out of faith
I see the future I pictured slowly fade away
And when the tears of pain and heartache are pouring down my face
I find my peace in Jesus' name
I am glad there is not only Peace, but there is Hope and Light.
