Waking Up From Sadness
I’ve allowed myself to wallow in my own self-pity, feeling sorry for myself, experiencing deep sadness. I wanted so much for God to remove the darkness I was feeling and replace it with light. Then, I remembered I, too, have a job to do. An important responsibility. Get a grip on, get control of my …
