I Am Not Skilled to Understand..

Lately, my life has been one big blur. I am constantly going, and it seems like unfortunate events keep flinging themselves at me.. one right after the other. Whether it's a bad grade on a Chemistry test that I thought I aced, my car breaking down in the Wendy's parking lot, getting about 5 hours of sleep (on a good night) for weeks straight, being disappointed by people that I once had so much hope in, being completely lost in my math class, squeaking like a little mouse when I try to belt out a C note, or something as simple as not knowing which shirt on my floor is the one I wore two days ago.. they just keep coming. They are consistent. I wish I could understand why GOOD things weren't consistent. Don't get me wrong, I know that life isn't always a gorgeous sunny day, but must it always be a storm? I am not skilled to understand why God does the things that He does. I will never know why things happen the way that they do, no matter how much I try to analyze them. Maybe good days aren't consistent. Sunny days aren't consistent. But you know what is? The Word of God. Just like Him, it is always the same. It is always good and true and pure... yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I will never be able to find true comfort in worldly things.. but I will always find comfort here.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you what the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. -John 14:27
