Waffles can cure anything.

I had an interesting conversation with one of my good friends tonight. I asked him if he would mind if I posted a bit of what he said on my blog and he gave me his permission. I found this story of his so inspiring. I probably won't match exactly what he said or how he said it, but I'll try the best I can.

"It was something like the day after she told me that she didn't want to talk to me or see me anymore and I was furious. I was cursing and blaming God and ranting. I was chatting online with one of my friends and going off and suddenly stopped and shouted, 'I'm gonna go pray!' which was ironic considering that I had just cursed God just moments before. My friend said, 'Alright!' So I thought, I don't want to pray here. It's a stupid dorm room with cinder block walls...stupid...and it's too late to go anywhere because it was like 9:30 by then. So I just said, 'I'm gonna go pray on a mountain!'

So I hiked up to that mountain where the crosses are. I didn't bring a flashlight but I did have my backpack and laptop in case I wanted to journal or something when I got up there. And the sky was perfectly clear. There wasn't a cloud in sight. I could see the sky so well. So I sat up there on the hill for a while and I just kept thinking about things. So I turned my back on the city lights and...I started to cry. And I am not kidding you. The exact same moment that I started crying...it started raining. The sky had been so clear just a couple of minutes before! That's how I got up the path without a flashlight. I didn't need one because the moon was so bright. Then all of a sudden a storm blew in. It was the most bizarre thing."

When our hearts are breaking, God's heart breaks. He feels what we feel. He hurts with us. But that's not to say He is weak. No. He is a strong tower. He is a mighty fortress. A tear for us is a storm for God. Doesn't that say something about how much He loves us? He loves us so much that He weeps with us; He goes out of his way to reach His hand to us who need someone? You may not be crying out for God, but God is crying out for you.
