back to exams..
so i have decided that i just take on too many emotions. and i am too often governed by them.
life just seems hard and stressful with exams right around the corner, the need for money that i don't have, missing a certain someone, battling sin, and just having life remain in dunmurry 24/7. i need an out. i just let frustration and sin pile up and get to a point where i feel like i can't handle it.
i need to remember why i do what i am doing. i have found it hard not to be jealous of paul's experience with invisible children and it has left me feeling useless. i feel like i have nothing to offer or contribute. and although i know that's not true, it is hard to keep that in perspective and think positively. i am so happy for paul, that he gets this amazing experience in london. and i need to remember that God has equipped me for great things and He has me right where i am for a reason. my time to get out of dunmurry will come, but until then.. i am here for a reason. i need an out, yes. but that out needs to come in peace and comfort and trust in Christ. somewhere along the line, that truth has been forgotten.
it is easier to say that than to do it. but last night i decided to stop being so selfish and self-absorbed. there will be less "i"s in future blogs, i hope. life is not about me. or what i get to do. it is about God and working for His glory and pushing through emotions and doing good even if i don't feel like it until that good becomes who i am. so i asked God to help me be less selfish and rude and more wise, understanding, steady, gracious, kind, loving, and respectful of everyone. i do not doubt that God will help me become a woman that just loves God and loves people. and despite the hard time i am having right now, i have complete faith that i will get better. God will help me and i will make it through these exmas. God will provide. and God will use me right where i am, no matter where that may be.
just need to trust in God. He will deliver and love and provide. i know it.
