In spite of myself

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for
the evidence of things not seen.

-Hebrews 11:1-

I don't believe in coincidences. I don't think on a night when I'm so deeply and profoundly sad that I actually contemplated just giving up... that this specific verse happened to pop into my head. And then I remembered the lesson from Wednesday night. You know, it's so easy to me to rely on my feelings, but I can't do that. God has his timing and His plan. I know He can do anything. Even this. You are just too important... and I have far too much faith in you to give up. I apologize you're not off quite so easy. And He is going to be faithful. I know it. I believe it.

(P.S. I'm so so sleepy. I find it amusing that the equivalent of a night of debauchery for me is a high school band concert. I really do enjoy being lame. It adds to my charm, I think.)
