All things must pass...


These days are hard for me.

I'm not focused on anything as I would like to be.
We all have problems,hard times,and times that we think that there's no way out.

That's probably cause we don't see the whole picture.
God does.I forget that.Very often.

I'm glad that Lord(and my pastor too)know that I'll screw up.Many times.
I often think that I should not do things I do,like leading worship,cause I don't feel worthy to do that.And I'm not.

But God didn't choose saints.
He probably wouldn't find any on this earth.
One of my friends told me that he can't understand how can God use people like us at all.
And I can't either.
I'm just thankful that He is.
He helps me through people around me...all you friends that are far away from here(thank God for internet too).

And he helps me through music and poetry
Last couple of days were so crazy that I thought I'll explode or escape...

God talks through Bible of course...
But He gave me these few words from Paul Simon this morning:

"Many's the time I've been mistaken
and many times confused
yes,and I often felt forsaken
and certaintly misused

Oh,but I'm alright,
I'm alright
I'm just weary to my bones
still,you don't expect me to be bright and bonvivant
so far away from home,
so far away from home

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
or driven to its knees
But it's alright,alright
for we lived so well so long
still when I think of the road we're travelin' on
I wonder what went wrong
I wonder what went wrong..."

This helped me a lot today

I hope I didn't depress you all

I agree with Jackie. I'm glad you wrote this. The words of that song really spoke to me too.

I would rather be depressed by Paul Simon than uplifted by "don't worry, be happy" any day. He can take our common emotions and connect us to each other. You can too--that was a well communicated blog, Drej. Thanks!

PSALM 126...maybe?
That really spoke to me in hard times that are kinda like the Vinepress feeling...
I am glad you are enduring Drej, and I trully believe do not give up... Wen the Vinepress is done, awesome thing will flow out...

Thank you all.
I don't what else could I say. Clapton once said that blues doesn't not depress him,but reminds him that there are more people in this world that sometimes feel like him.
Of course this is not blues,but you know...I'm glad you understand.
And I'm glad that the song spoke to you as well.
Dianne,thank you very much,and I agree with you about Don't worry etc.
My dear pastor,thank you...
I had a dream about Lea :0)

I am going to listen to that Paul Simon song right now. What a post! I love how you bear your soul and lift us all up to a place where we can be real with God. Thank you.
