Sometimes I feel as if I am between those two rocks...
My friend, Crystal, reminded me of this verse earlier this week. I needed this reminder.
Yes, there are times where...
I may be feeling pressed, but I am not, nor will I be crushed.
I may be feeling perplexed, but I am not, nor will I be despaired.
I may be persecuted, but I have not, nor will I be abandoned.
I may be struck down, but I have not, nor will I be destroyed.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. -2 Corinthians 4:16-18
And I am going to continue Trading My Sorrows.
I am so thankful He renews us. Every. Day.

My prayer is when you see/feel the rock, you will always remember that you have been lead to the
"rock that is higher than I"
