I don’t cry very often. Usually, I’m really tired and one thing after another piled up until I break down and cry.<\/p>\n

But, the other day, everything was fine. Really fine. I was out on a walk. The snow fall was lovely. I’d gotten my work done. And, I saw my husband drive up. He’d received a phone call and we were told news that shocked us.<\/p>\n

I broke down and cried.<\/p>\n

I was crying with God. I even got upset with God.<\/p>\n

Although my brain was discombobulated, I didn’t doubt God’s presence. But, I was sure expecting God to act fast and get me straightened around.<\/p>\n

It took a few hours. I calmed down. I put the brain noise on the back burner.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t going to pray for the human situation to change back to normal. I just wanted to know what God would have me do.<\/p>\n

Ideas started flowing, thankfully.<\/p>\n

My husband read from the Bible to me and angels<\/a> were talked about. I told myself to know that angels are everywhere, absolutely everywhere, helping, guiding, healing, and motivating all people and the earth.<\/p>\n

We received another phone call and the situation that scared me had taken a turn for the better<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I just want to cry.<\/p>\n

And, I did cry tears of rejoicing and gratitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
