Pining for the Silver Lining August 21, 2007
Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Thoughts & Scribblings , trackback
Is the silver lining a mere cliché or is there indeed really one somewhere out there? Because all I see now are dark, dark clouds that are slowly but menacingly rearing their ugly claws all around me. Waiting for that opportune moment when I am at my weakest to launch their deadly attack. There ain’t no silver lining, and no lining in any other color too that can be seen. Nuh-uh. Not from where I am standing…
And what about the saying, “Everything happens for a reason.” I myself have at many times said this in consolation to many a friend. I believe it to be true. But yet, I am still trying my best to say it to myself now. I know that God has a plan for me and that I should put everything into His Hands for now, because who am I to question Him?
Although these circumstances are making me call out in desperation, I endeavor to be strong at heart. It’s difficult and is taking every ounce of my weary being. I persevere. For that one last gasp attempt.
And I am hopeful. Still.
Hoping and praying that maybe,…just maybe…. that elusive silver lining will make its presence known. SOON. And when that happens, I will welcome it with open arms.

…suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” (Romans 5:1-5)

Do not give up hope. Hard work is the best way. Not that I am any kind of example for that.

Want to hear from someone who has been through a lot? Physical pain and exhaustion is temporary, and even though I’m mentally exhausted sometimes, I still harbour hopes that the bad things would go away one day. I’m always hanging on for a better solution. Never give up.
*hugs*
The Giddy Tiger says: I won’t give up. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
*hugs*
Things will look better tomorrow
The silver lining’s always there. It’s just sometimes invisible! So smile, girl until the silver lining shows its face again!
