being optimistic all the time is exhausting.

There are just some days when He is so tangible. I am overwhelmed by the way he fills the air, and how my heart feels like it might burst with just one more breath.

from the book of Job

#2

“Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.” Job 1:10-11 

It’s one of our many comforts to know that when we are in His will, nothing happens to us without His permission.

It’s one of the hardest things to accept, when we are in His will, nothing happens to us without His permission.
