i found peace.

read Isaiah 40. I love my dad. He talked to me last night about my stress and stuff and suddenly, all stress and joylessness was gone. THANK YOU GOD!

"To whom then will you liken Me,
Or to whom shall I be equal?" says the Holy One.
Lift up your eyes on high,
And see who has created these things,
Who brings out their host by number;
He calls them all by name,
By the greatness of His might
And the strength of His power;
Not one is missing.

Why do you say, O Jacob,
And speak, O Israel;
"My way is hidden from the Lord,
And my just claim is passed over by my God?"
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,

The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.

His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youth shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,

But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

That's such a beautiful one! especially for me, because I try to run, jump and everything, but usually my bad feet end up getting really really messed up. It's amazing how God promises to let us do super-human things someday, like never be tired. I just wrecked my foot again playing basketball last night, and when God promises that I can run and not feel soreness, I kinda get excited.
