“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”

Isaiah 12:2 (ESV)

From the journal . . .

Some days, I just don’t want to be here.

At this place in the process. At this place of unknown. At this place of indecision. At this place of discouragement.

But I am here.

And so is He.

Because His promise to be Emmanuel, God with us, doesn’t end in this place.

In some ways, the promise seems strangely sweeter here.

Some of this is hard and some of this even hurts.

I feel stuck and I feel desperate.

But I trust anyways.
