This past holiday weekend my friend, Kim, and her daughter, Cori, Kristina and myself all went to the beach for a girl's weekend. Oh we had so much fun. The weather was nice on Saturday and we spent pretty much the entire day just sitting and looking at the ocean. We all laid on our chairs squishing sand with our fingers and toes. The sun, the wind, the smell...*sigh* it was all wonderful!
.
But, the trip down there seemed to take forever! We left around 9:00 Friday night and with ever mile we drove it seemed like another mile was added on. At one point Kim said "I promise you there is a little man putting more and more road in front of us so that we never get there!" That became our joke and theme for the week along with a few other things and every time we went somewhere we fussed at the little man for making the road longer and longer!
.
Sometimes in life you get in situations where you feel like you are never going to make to the end. It seems like you are holding onto a rope with everything you have and the more you pull and tug on that rope the more rope there is to pull and tug on. It is as if someone is standing there adding to the length of the rope. Did you ever stop to think that it just isn't time for you reach the end yet? Sometimes at the end our hearts get broken and then sometimes our hearts get blessed but we only reach the end of that rope when it is time...His time.
.
When it is time for you to reach the end of your rope, your Father is there waiting for you and although you have pulled on that rope for the very last time and you think you are going to fall he is there to catch you! "The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time." Psalm 34:19 (NLT). He is our rescue! He is our refuge! He is our comforter! He is our strength! He is our friend! He is our provider! He is our Father! He is our SAVIOR!
