A buoyant song floats in the air. It's so loud. I can't do anything but keep my eyes closed tightly. The superficial is singing with the tune, but the deep within is fearful ... of tomorrow's surprise that nobody knows!
Will I cry? Will I smile? Will I win or lose? Do I have to risk a thousand bucks to win this game? Am I the hope of everything - of friends and family?
I fear that one day, my dreams will shatter. I do not think I would make it. I am terribly afraid.
Then, a voice whispered, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1) Then continued with this, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
And I found myself looking at the sky, gazing up at God's wonders. I saw Him smile and disappeared beyond my sight.
That night, I slept hoping to wake up on a brand new day. Tomorrow, it will be the start of another journey with God beside me.
