You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness and comfort me again. Psalm 71:19b-21 [ESV]The words of the Psalmist, You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth;you will bring me up again, seem particularly apt. A Friday when I left the office in tears; a Monday where I felt lost, confused and alone; and then a Tuesday where things went well, Of course, there were moments of joy amid the turmoil: starting my Certificate IV in Training and Assessment; seeing A Midsummer Night's Dream in the open air; Church on Sunday followed by lunch with a friend. And e-mails, comments and kind words from friends and colleagues. I truly do feel as if I have been brought up from the depths of the earth, for which thanks be to God who has blessed me so richly, and so richly with wondrous people around me.
