I'm not going to lie... this week had been kinda hard for me :( it seems as though everywhere I go there is SOMETHING that reminds me of a certain SOMEONE that I don't particularly want to be reminded of as much as I am.. I am trying really hard to not let it get to me, but sometimes it does..
This was my devo on Tuesday.. I keep going back to it:
Romans 4:18-21
18 In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, "So shall your offspring be."19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb. 20 No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.
The Bible gives us promises, hope, and encouragement. God promises good to those of us who serve Him. Despite the adversity of our circumstances--and some people have absolutely terrible situations--God still promises good. Our sense of goodness, however, may not be the same as God's. Getting what we want immediately may not be best for us. Sometimes waiting is the best thing because it helps develop the character of God in us.
Waiting... that seems to be the story of my life! Boy have I developed some patience!! Not that it's a bad thing, but sometimes I just want to know what is going to happen next, or when it will happen! Waiting just down right sucks sometimes! BUT, I will continue to wait on God and see what He has in store for my life.
I am trying really hard to stay positive and keep giving all my cares and worries to God!!
What I really would like is to meet someone here in London, another Christian, that I can talk to about stuff and build a friendship with. THAT would be lovely! Maybe I'm alone so that the only person I can turn to is God - like I said before.. but sometimes I would like a real person to talk to, not that God isn't good enough - because He is!!!
On a lighter note.. I start my job on Thursday!! I'm kind of excited to start working, have an income again haha! It's McDonald's still, but it's a job and I won't have to learn anything new!!
