"In my distress I called to the Lord. I called out to my God. From His temple, He heard my voice. My cry came to His ears." 2 Samuel 22:7 NIV Bible
I was busy with preparations to be with family. We had an overwhelming amount of last minute things to do to prepare to be with them through their loss. We were so blessed to be able to be with them, but it seems it served another purpose.
I thought I was handling things pretty well through everything, but when I sat down waiting to be picked up at the hotel for our flight home, all I wanted to do is cry, and cry, and cry! Being prayerful about this, I turned to the Lord God, Who reminded me of another time in my life, when I had hidden my true feelings by being so busy with all the preparations, that I didn't really take time to feel.
The Lord was right. Of course He would be, because the Lord God always sees the big picture! Here I was again, hiding my feelings of grief behind busy preparations, but it didn't totally hide the grief. It just kicked the can down the road. So that, as I sat in the hotel lobby, and nothing else to preoccupy my mind, I had time to think, and to feel, and all I wanted to do was cry. Fortunately for me, Christ has broad shoulders and let me cry out to Him, for comfort through all of this. He was there and He continues to be there as I need that same comfort periodically. I am so very blessed to have a comforter like Christ!
