WOW i can't believe its almost been 3 weeks since i've last blogged... but i guess i can say the past 2 weeks have been the craziest/busiest yet this summer! I don't know how i survived... Oh that's right, the LORD helped me through it!!!! Don't you just love when you are starting out the week on a monday morning and you think to yourself "this week is going to be the worst" or "this week is going to go by so slowly" and than it ends up flying by and going so much better than you thought???? The Lord is SO good to me in that way. The week of July 25-31 i was scheduled over 30 hours of work, and usually I get about 8-12 hours. I was not looking forward to starting out my monday morning at 6 a.m and I wanted to think that if I just stayed in bed, than I wouldn't really have to go to work... It didn't work out like that! However, it turns out the week went so quickly and by the time friday came around it felt like it had only been about 2 or 3 days! If you just give everything up to God, your worries, your burdens, your pain, your struggles and anything you may be dealing with right now and just let him handle it, he will work it out for the best. Romans 8:28 - "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him...." Several people have encouraged me to really dwell on this verse because the past few weeks i have been going through my own trials and dealing with pain that may seem unbearable (heartbreak). When you trust in the Lord and Delight yourself in Him, He really will work things out for good. He loves us so much that He wants us to have the VERY BEST in our lives and right now I may be wishing and wanting things that I cannot have because for some reason God took them out of my life, but I know that God will work things out for the best. I just need to seek Him and trust in him FULLY! Also, everything really does happen for a reason. I believe that I am going through this trial because God is teaching me patience, and he is trying to show me that He is all that I will ever need, above any man, above any friend or item of clothing! That's why I'm sticking like paper on glue to my Creator! Because He will provide all that I need for this life until I spend an eternity with Him!
