Sometimes the updraft catches us off-guard.
You can respond with tears (girl on right) and uncomfortably force yourself to stand there and take whatever surprise comes your way. Or you can respond with confidence (girl on left) and let God show you the joy in the situation.
I pray that I can respond with confidence and joy and discover the blessings in the midst of the sudden winds of change.

This is what the Lord says: "When 70 years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my gracious promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity..."
Jeremiah 29:10-14a
