This past weekend I got really sick. One of the symptoms was nausea. Of all the symptoms you can feel when you are sick it is (in my opinion) by FAR the worst one! Horrible symptom! it feels like you are drowning! When you are sick and you can somewhat function, your ailment affords you the chance to catch up on the frivolities of social media. As I attempted to do so, I could not help but notice how many people were feeling down - feeling like they were overwhelmed. Drowning. I ran into phrases such as: I cant take it anymore! Im so tired of this life/situation! Im so embarrassed! I hate my job/school/myself! I heard were all getting laid off! What they did is unforgivable! I thought I would help by leaving a kind word of encouragement but I was inevitably beaten to the punch by some concerned friends who chimed in to cheer people up with: “I’m telling you this for your own good...” “What your problem really is....” “Only your close friend would tell you...” (posted at 3AM) “I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but... “I know you just lost someone special, but that’s nothing compared to what happened to me!” “Everybody knows he/she is a... “Why should you care that they were mistreated? It didnt happen to you!” When we are drowning its always super-charming to hear the people that are drowning next to us so full of helpful words that they manage to gurgle out of their mouths as they struggle to stay above the surface. So whos above the surface? Hes been waiting for you to ask that question your entire life, Hes just sad that youve waited until you realize you are drowning. This Sabbath, join us at the Wisconsin Academy Seventh-day Adventist church to worship God as survivors of the human experience.
