Church: July 4

I have not been getting much sleep. I am tired. But God is sustaining me.

During the church service, I cried through worship. I cried when people talked to me. And during prayer I was crying so loud that I decided I had to leave. I went into the girl's bathroom and cried my heart out.

I felt God leading me towards the church office area and the church library. I started to calm down, and I saw a book that stood out to me. I picked it up and opened it to look through it. The page I opened to said in large letters, "Take Things One Step at a Time." I knew it was God saying, "Faith, slow down, don't worry about more than today."

I cried a little more, then went outside for a walk. I sat down and sang a few praises to God, and just waited. Then I started to really enjoy the nature around me. God's creation has been what He uses to comfort me recently. I saw a huge bee, a beautiful brown and orange butterfly (my favorite colors!), and two dragonflies flying by. I just sat and praised Him while enjoying His creation.

God comforts us and leads us. We just need to listen and wait for Him.
