Black Cloud

















People always talk about a grey cloud that follows them around. Well, I am fortunate enough to be able to call mine a black cloud. I am really starting to comprehend the "Suffering with Christ" concept. Don't you wonder sometimes why God allows his people to suffer so much? How do we respond in these types of situations? Yesterday I had the thought that God must be trying to kill me. Then my husband reminded me, that is God wanted to kill me, He would not fail in His attempt.

You know when little kids play the poking game? They just keep poking you until you want to beat them. Well, that is the best analogy I can come up with today for my days of black clouds. I feel like God is poking on every area of my life, and eventually, I might go crazy!

The question I can't seem to answer in all of this madness is... how on earth to I respond to all of this crap that keeps flying my way? What do I even pray for at this point? How do I grow through this? How do I even survive this? I understood that following Christ would not be easy, but the hurricane that has become my life is way too overwhelming. Lord, please help me!
