a sunrise moment

I was so tired when I went to bed last night. There didn't seem to be any part of my body that did not hurt. It had been a very long day. There seemed to be meeting after meeting (or was it just one, long, never ending meeting?) And it didn't make it any better that the very long day had come after one of the longest weeks of my life.

I was awakened sometime during the night or early morning by the wind. It seemed that a storm was blowing in. Sometime later I heard the rain falling. I got up before sunrise and come into the office to read my bible and pray. I feel so much better this morning. I feel refreshed.

In the midst of my very stormy week I had spent good quality time with Jesus (or maybe he had spent some good quality time with me.) In the midst of my very busy Sunday I had felt the Lord's annointing during worship.

A moment ago I noticed that the sun has come up and it is a beautiful day! There will be storms and they may last for days...but the sun will always shine again.
