Hello, everyone! I want to ask you to forgive my pity party in that last entry. So much was happening so fast, and I was exhausted! We all have been there, where life seems overwhelming sometimes. But God is good, all the time; all the time, He is GOOD!!! I am a BLESSED woman, and nothing that can happen will change that!!!!
My uncle came to the rescue, at least for now. He is sending someone he knows over to inspect the damage and possibly repair it. As far as money and work, I don't have to worry about that. I have applied for many jobs, and the offers and interviews are coming in. I MUST trust God's leading in this. I don't want to accept any job that He hasn't approved for me. I will WAIT, and watch! It will happen! My needs are met, so I can afford to be patient. I wish I weren't such an impatient person! I get myself agitated about situations I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. I have done all that I can do, now I have to trust HIM for the outcome. He has never failed me; shame on me for doubting Him, even for a SECOND!!!!!!
I feel much better than I did a few days ago. My husband and kids let me catch up on some much needed rest yesterday. At church, the Holy Spirit renewed my strength. The pastor preached a message called "The Battle Is Not Yours," reminding us that we become tired and frustrated and feel defeated as Christians because we are trying to fight our own battles and take care of our own situations, and not believing and trusting our circumstances to the One that can fight our battles for us, defeat the enemy on our behalf, and be victorious! Lord, you just don't know how much I needed that message! The word of God is food for the soul!!!!!
Well, I'm going to fix dinner (Spaghetti and Meatballs, lol), and study for tomorrow's test. Thank y'all again for the encouraging words and prayers! I prayed for all my J-land friends this morning! I love y'all so much!!! Bye!!!!

Amen Sista!!! You got it girl! Take yourself out of the fight because the battle is not yours. God doesn't need any help from Mrs Ford. Give it to Him, and TRUST Him with it all.

Everybody is entitled to a little "Pity Party" now and again, you're forgiven :)
Here is a prayer that helps me feel like I am doing something when I am too impatient for what HE is doing or going to do in my life:
"Heavenly Father, I humbly come before you to thank you for the good works you are performing in my life. I thank you for blessing me that I can be a source of comfort to others. Lord Jesus, I call upon your name and ask you to save me and all those who have requested that I pray for them. I come to you to ask that you heal the hearts of those in pain and in need. Father, restore their hearts with the joy of salvation. Cause them to remember that all things are possible through YOU. The word says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Phillipians 4:13) "Count it all to joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience." (James 1:2-3) Father, you said you'd be with us and promised us your wisdom and strength through every adversity. Father help us to forgive those who have sought to cause us harm. "I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." (Jeremiah 31:34) You said we must "Love [our] enemies, do good to those who hate [us], bless those who curse [us], pray for those who mistreat [us]." (Luke 6:27-28) Father, we ask that you lead us to forgive others as you have forgiven us. We humbly ask that just as you poured the balm of mercy on us, you salve the souls of those who have hurt us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Hope you have a blessed day! May the Lord bless and keep you always! --Kimya
You didn't have a pity party - you confided in friends.
