Dark Clouds Deep Mercies by Mark Vroegop
I started painting my pain.
It’s a safe place for a weary heart to land.
Take it steady and stay the course.
Slow and steady isn’t inactive.
Learn to be gentle with yourself.
Let go of expectations.
It won’t always be this way, but for this season it is.
We trust that God is writing our story that will bring Him glory.
Pause and take a deep breath.
The very breath you have is because of Christ.
God is with us.
It became less of a ritual and more like a rhythm.
The sweetness of His presence surpassed the pain of my suffering.
