hi!
My family is going through a rough patch. My mom is over-worked since her manager left and the third shifter keeps calling off. My Dad hates his job and feels he has failed at it. Meanwhile, my hours haven't changed and job searching has been a bust. Even though 4 people have quit, they are still waiting; they are only 13 people working in an department where they could use more people.
I realized today I have been fighting with my parents so much to the point I resent everything they suggest. Things are better with my mom but my dad is still being aggressive with me; he wants me to work in an factory but I cannot deal with the heavy lifting.
Anyway, I realize, the LORD has been put at the bottom of at least my list. I know if I start depending on the LORD, a job won't magically appear, but at least, I have piece in my heart.
Jeremiah 29:11 is a wonderful verse. I use to hate it but I know the LORD is not a big bully; He knows best and helps best.
For the time being, I will volunteer at Loft Church and CEF, spend time with friends, read Charles Dickens novels, finish Cheers, and get ready for Central Penn.
I shouldn't complain. I have an awesome God who has blessed with this job, wonderful family, and friends. People struggle in this economy and though I don't understand Him sometimes, at least He knows what's going on.
I am thankful for the LORD; I resolve to follow my parents without a crappy attitude and try to follow Him the way I should. One with a blessed life; with a realistic but content look on life.
Anyway....off to bed:
Take me into the beautiful where the faces glow
Where the lights that never dim
Oh I wanna go to the beautiful
Come on and take me again
A love that's brighter than diamonds when I'm with You
A love that always invites us to be with You
Your love is brighter than diamonds now that I'm with You
