Face to Face with a Crisis

• Posted by Rev. Lisa Taylor August 21, 2012 - #  - 760 views

  I was having a bit of a personal crisis last night feeling so hard core tired and I want to honestly let others in on 
  what was going through my mind.I am not always perfect, I do not always understand God in his full glory and 
  if someone says they do then I shall show you a foolish person. Not many know this, and want to believe every 
  spiritual leader out there is confident, strong, does not sh

  ow weakness,a leader among leaders,Knows everything there
  is to know about spiritual teachings,but the truth is I don't nor does anyone else. God has a plan for each 
  and every one of us and when it is time he will revile that plan to you.In the mean time best I can do is wait, spread Gods
  word, do my best at doing good works and share my 45 years of experience on this earth. I have a habit as most do
  Watching the news nightly and in my experiences I find it is 20 percent reporting the news and 80 percent trying to grab 
  ratings, Being aware of what is going on in this world is a good thing at times but seeing nightly the pain inflicted by 
  strangers upon others,The hate that is breeding among friends and families that rip the very foundation right out from under them.
  War torn countries displaying the death and destruction before your very eyes, Our own Government can not even agree on any
  single thought. President candidates putting aside their morals in order to win a popularity contest by trying to make the
  others in the race look worse than they are.The best person for the leading of our country is the one that stands up and
  says enough is enough, I will do my best and that is all I can do.This applies to other aspects of life. The job is not by 
  any means a piece of cake, Many have taken on the position to find out that their reality does not even come close to what 
  is asked of them when preforming their term in office.There is no shame in admitting when one is wrong, No shame in the 
  falling, because it is human nature to stumble and learn from it.Best we can hope for is we do not repeat it.Last night I 
  found myself wondering to the why all this is important, Why are these things happening and am I doing enough ? frankly there is something wrong when a person such as myself begin to think being called home is more appealing than existing in such heartache and despair. When the storm’s brewin’& when the tide’s high, that's when I lean into the Truth that I abide by. The truth is 
  telling me I do not know what will come on the morrow, I do not know if I am doing enough, I do not know what God's 
  personal plans are for me and I do not know if my words bring comfort to those in need.But I do know that I will continue 
  to pray, hold my faith , wait and do my best every day . I want to thank a very special friend that stepped up to the plate 
  and helped me see the light among the darkness of this world, so Thank You from the bottom of my heart and may I be there 
  for you in the same way you were there for me if or when the time comes.
