Sighs

Some well meaning people have been telling me to not waste tears. My question is this: CAN tears be wasted? My tears are happy tears, sad tears, hurt tears; you get my point. But all of these emotions make us human don't they? I know that the words are to make me feel better but... So really can tears shed on these emotions be wasted? Even the Bible says that "to everything there is a season; a TIME for EVERY purpose under Heaven...". Sometimes a real guttural cry, like the one that I had the other night over a number of different things that happened all at once, REALLY feels nice. But, the emotions drip over into the next day and the next...when is it "normal" to stop crying over stuff that you have no control over? Why is it so hard to give that control over to the One who promised to take that for us? I listened to Pastor Bob's message online from way back about Romans and how "everything works together for the good to those who Love God and are called according to His purpose." I do love God. I do want His will. It's just so hard to know which direction "things" are going to go in order to be fully in His will. It's written that when we are in His Will, things are better than we can even imagine. My reality seemed pretty great until a few things occurred that threw a wrench into my week. It will all work out...I am confident of that. But in the interim....GEEZ! *sigh* I guess that's why one of my favorite verses is Hebrews 11:1..."Now faith is being sure of what we hope for...and certain of what we cannot see..."
Blessings on your day...
