God always knows what I need to hear. Today I'm praying because I fear the future. I'm anxious and frustrated over the fact that there are so many things that I can't control. There are many good things, even promises that I believe God has given us and yet we are still stuck with this house, still no job for Brett, still can't get out of debt, still stretched between 2 communities. I thought last summer was it. I thought we were done with the commute and things would wrap up quickly, but it didn't happen. I thought Brett finally had a good job and it's gone. I thought the calling we feel to our church was what God was using to move us in that direction but then why aren't we moving? I'm tired of feeling this way. I'm tired or repenting for feeling this way. I was walking down the hall after my classes left for the day and praying about my bad attitude. When I got back to my room and checked my computer guess what the verse of the day is? Yep. 1 Tim. 1:7.
My paraphrase: "Did God make you to be a whiney, self-absorbed baby? Heck no! He made to be able to receive and employ his energy, heart, and sticktoitiveness."
Ok, Lord. Sorry. Please help me do better.
