Clearly not my virtue, but I'm working on it. So um, when's it my turn? Lord willing, it'll be this year. We really never know, but I'm definitely hopeful...After all good things comes to those who wait, right? riiight.
So, this one person encouraged me to read start reading my bible again, and I did. The message yesterday really got to me-- the same way that the message last Sunday & my daily devotion did. It's funny how all added up to the same realization. Good things really do work together for the good of those who love God. Do I sound like an extremist? Because that's hardly my intention at all. The message just really moved me. (It covered making the right resolutions). The steps made me realize that this is not going to be an easy ride. In fact, it's going to take some crashing and some falling-- but God promises to be there with us every step of the way, and God does answer prayers, in his time and will 'cause everything happens according to his will...and you know what I've realized, (and believe me I feel so bad right now) I've realized that every time some thing is wrong with me or going wrong in my life I usually go to my friends first, and I never turn to God and pray first (which I should be doing). I haven't done that in quite a while, and I realized that I need to start giving all my worries and fears to him, that's what he's there for, am I right? Just like the memory verse,
"Trust In the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, and in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. "
I've been feeling so down lately like my stress level is way up there & nothing, I mean nothing is going the way I want it to, but despite all the chaos and drama thats been going on in my life, I don't know but I'm okay,I feel okay, I actually I feel good right now. I have peace in my mind and in my heart. (THANK YOU LORD) and I thank everyone who's been there with me every step of the way and for all your prayers and advice. It really is working. and I'm slowly learning. I'm nowhere near where I want to be... yet but I know I'll get there, someday with the help of Jesus Christ.
On a different note, my cold, flu whatever it is, is acting up again to the highest level. High high highest level. Today was a pretty long day. I'm kind of tired, but of course I'd much rather blog about it than, I don't know, finish what I'm doing... I should be folding clothes, but I'd rather not.So, this one person encouraged me to read start reading my bible again, and I did.

Now that I'm done complaining about a pretty decent day due to my lack of energy, I can go back to folding clothes. Have a fabulous long weekend everyone.

That is my favorite verse! Proverbs 3:5-6. That is actually what brought me back to God and helped me give all my problems to God. I used to think I needed someone to turn to that could help me with what I was going through, but when I read that verse, I knew who I needed to turn to. And Thank God, He uplifted my burdens!
I hope you're doing well Arlaine and i'm glad that you're starting to read you bible more. I realized that doing daily devotionals isn't as heartening as read the bible as well. =] May you find what you seek.
