Time sure does seem to fly by these days. I am not entirely sure how, but some how it manages to. J and I talked things through and worked them out. Thanks for everyone's encouraging words. I know I need to work on my trust for J and only the good Lord will be able to help me do that. I guess I should be thankful I am dating a guy whom other girls want to chase down, because he is so great, but part of me would rather just have it the easy way, the way that does not challenge my weaknesses. My weaknesses seem to be becoming more apparent to me these days...but with that is also coming a greater dependence on God for being the goodness. Grace, amazing grace, has become such a head lifter for me these days as God walks me down the road of rooting out all the stones of ungodliness I am coming across in my life.

Other wise this week I subbed a lot, went on a job interview for a job I didn't get, taught 2 Missions Bible studies, and have been trying to help nurse my VERY sick boyfriend back to health.

Finally, I am VERY ready for God to give me a full time job that I can count on...if I could mark any one thing that would be a great challenge for me in the discouragement department it would be the job situation. I am determined to Praise the Lord through this part time job situation and wait it out, but I can be honest and say it is getting harder and harder as my bank account continues to decrease. I guess that might just be the point...so I will learn to do it no matter what.

I am blessed. Period. I want to be like Job and fall on my face in praise of the Lord even if everything in my world is falling down around me. Because while the world may be a mess, my God never is...
