My vision has been clouded.....

Have you ever felt like you were viewing this world or your life through a cloud? Have you ever felt like you like you can't see anything clearly? Have you ever wondered what is happening to the way that you live your life?

I must say that I have incredible friends. They have taken the cloud away from my eyes so that I can see clearly.
They have scraped the ice off of the windshield so I can really see the road before me.
They have rubbed and rubbed my eyes so that I may truly open them when I have tried to walk around blindly.

For the past few weeks I have been living inside of a cloud...an unrealistic heathen paradise of a way of thinking....It's amazing how easily distracted I can become and how I was so quick to consider compromising just because a heathen was going to "compromise" or give stuff up for me.... It's so stupid really, but at the time, it seemed a little appealing... I would be lying if I said that there's nothing in this dirty heathen secular world that is appealing or attractive....or even if I was trying to claim that I am completely fine now. No, I'm so not there at all.

Yet, because of DofaK, Oz, PM, PW, and RM, I feel like I have been lifted up from falling flat on my butt and I am now able to walk.

Even though I have been walking in a puddle, Jesus has lifted me up and cleared and dried the road before me so that I am able to walk next to Him...Since He then saw that I was/am still stumbling and that I do not have a clear and sober mind and that I am just that lost dumb sheep, He had to break my leg just so that He can put me up and carry me around on His shoulders.

As much as I have no idea as to what God has in store for me, I can feel His loving arms of grace around me, comforting me, and showing me how much He cares. One of the huge ways He has done this is with my awesome friends. Sometimes, I just need to hear it from more than one person for it to sink into my hard head. Yet, because of God and the friends listed above.....

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all the obstacles in my way
I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
It's a bright, bright, sun-shiny day
