My Cubby Hole

Does anyone remember way back when we were in Kindergarten where we had cubby holes for each of us? When we came in, we were instructed by our teachers to put our items (book bags, pencils, etc) in there. They held our items for us. (Granted someone did take things from others at some point, but for the most part they pretty much kept our items). 


Today, I had an emotional day at work. It was a personal thing. It hurt so bad that I couldn't respond after awhile. I just had to stay quiet and focus on work. I felt like crying (at one point a tear did come into play, but I brushed that away). I didn't want to cry. 1. It was at work 2. It would activate my sinus & I'm just recovering from that (I didn't want to go back). The irony of the situation was that I had just read from a link talking about problems in the church. One way to cope with was to remember that people aren't perfect. I tried to focus on that, and let go of the bitterness that was slowly but surely making its way in me. It didn't help. I still felt hurt, anger-mixed emotions. 


After work, I went to the gym to work out, and I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes. It was AWESOME because I kept telling myself that I couldn't do it-that 10 minutes was enough, if not too much. I let my energy focus on exercising-not food or eating. Praise and glory to God for this because most of the time I would cope with emotional issues with overeating. Yet, I couldn't eat. The Lord took that away from me. 


When I got home, I began rehashing the points that hurt, and the thought of a cubby hole came into my head. My Cubby Hole is Jesus. When I give Him things, when I place my worries, cares, hurts, anger-everything with Him, He takes care of them. Unlike the cubby hole by man's hands, Jesus 100% takes care of them. He is a Protector of our souls. I thank God for Jesus. Jesus is gonna take my hurt away, and allow me to forgive and forget. I know this as I place all in His hands. God is truly AWESOME! Glory to God!


I also know that my imperfections, God will help me with. Lord, I'm not perfect. I know this. I give this to You God. I pray that You take away them Father-that You help me overcome them as You have overcome the world. Thank You Jesus :)


I love this song by Michael W. Smith. I want to share this with you. How appropriate it is.

Until  Next Time...Lord's Willing
