Clarity

While I should totally be getting ready to head out for the evening, I felt like I NEEDED to write. Sometimes the thoughts in my head have to come out, but I simply do not know how to verbally express them. Writing is such a neat medium, in that I can flood the paper (or screen) with my thoughts and then rework them over and over until they say exactly what I mean!

Today I feel like my brain has been swirling, like I can find no peace in there...no resting place, no landing spot. Everything is floating around, hard to grasp, and feeling so uncertain. That in itself makes my emotional state rather up and down as well, one minute feeling rather happy and the next wanting to cry. What I need is clarity. I need someone to come and wipe away the fog on this window that I am peering through, so that I can see clearly what I am to do, to feel, to say.

Thankfully, God is like a supernatural window washer. I realize that sounds funny to say, and maybe you think it is blasphemous to think of the Creator washing windows in a jumpsuit, but I think He is ok with that. See...even typing that makes me breathe out a sigh of relief. HE can clear my mind. HE can wipe away the fog.

Sometimes circumstances in life and the choices we need to make are not crystal clear. Sometimes they really are a bit foggy. I believe that God gives us the freedom to choose for ourselves, but I also believe that He is right there waiting for us to ask Him for wisdom.

So...rather than sitting around squinting through this foggy window, I will pray. I will ask God for clarity and for wisdom. And I will choose to trust Him in the wait. When the time is right, He will answer, leading the way, clearing the path before me, and wiping away the fog.
