disappointment.

frustration. let down. disappointment.

You know when you have high hopes for something, like really high hopes, and things don't go the way you planned? Maybe your computer crashed and you lost your 12 page paper, or your exam date falls on the day of the event you wanted to go to. Or maybe plans fall through, and you don't get to see the people you wish so badly you could.

SO badly you wish you could go back in time and change something. If you had just done that one thing differently, you could save yourself from the disappointment. The feeling of trying to think of every possible way you can change your circumstance, but nothing will work. How much do we all hate that feeling. Disappointment. 

Today that feeling flooded through my heart so fast I felt like I was going to pass out. Should haves, could haves, would haves. I kept thinking of what would have happened if all of it had panned out the way I thought it could have. How great things would have been then.

Driving home from work a song came on that really impacted me, and changed my perspective just a little bit. The lyrics read, "Shout it, go on and scream it from the mountains. Go on and tell it to the masses, That He is God. We will sing out Hallelujah."

He is God. Hallelujah. We have a Saviour, and he's in control of our lives, not us. Jesus has the power to heal our broken hearts and carry our burdens for us, and when these times of disappointment arise, I'll put my trust into Him.

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8
