Searching for Peace

This past year has been quite grueling on a personal level. I faced down a big change I needed to make in my life and while this change is a positive step in the right direction, it has still been difficult to make. I must admit I feel a bit lost. I know that these feelings of confusion and disorientation will pass and are a normal part of transition but it doesn't make it any easier. I swing between emotions of sadness, broken-heartedness, and excitement and freedom. Is there a Ben and Jerry's flavor that will soothe this pain and calm my fears? Sadly, even if there were, the relief wouldn't last (except to show up on my thighs where it does no one any good). The real relief I need comes in the form of the balm of Gilead. I need my Savior right now...to remind me with His peace and comfort, that "all these things shall give thee experience" and that I am safe. I am somebody. He is mindful of me. I am His.
