The Blues

Yep, been having the blues a little the last few weeks. Things of life have just been happening all at once and before I knew it, the blues had settled in. They did not "pass by" or "stop in for a short visit" or "stay the night and went on their way". They decided to set up camp right here, and I am having bit of a time getting them to "move on".
Can I give you a good reason for why they are here...no. I have some things that are not "all that fun" going on, but nothing that should have these unwanted visitors assume they could bunk here for so long. They are pesky little guys. They may take off for a few hours, and I start to feel relief, but they keep coming back, making themselves at home right here in my heart.
There is one thing for sure though. The Lord is good ALL the time, and all the time the Lord is good. So while I am attempting to send my unwanted visitor's an eviction notice, I will remember that they are temporary and that the Lord and His presence in my heart is permanent. These "blue's", though not big and bad, just enough to make my heart heavy, are now my ENEMY! It is clear I am not able to make them leave on my own. My Lord will need to banish them! And I know He will!
So I am determined to focus on the good, and turn my eyes upward! He sends me blessings everyday! And the "BLUES" are on their way out!
