There is much going through my head this week. It's been a rollercoaster of a week for me. I am truely struggling with much. Will is currently not working, which can cause tension in the house. I totally agreed with him about leaving the company he was at. I just pray that God will continue to provide us with the financial means to pay our bills. I know that He has in the past and will do so. I just don't know His time frame.
Fighting the fight.... God tells us in the Bible that we will have battles and a cross to bare. I carry my cross... I fight my fight. Some days are easier than others. Today I even have difficulty finding the passage I want to share.
Romans 5:
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we [a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we [b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we [c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Here is the passage of truth for today. Especially verses 3-4... "suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
Getting through each day to glorify God. Loving the life I have. Seeing the beauty in everything around me. These are the things I try to do each day. Some days are more difficult than others.
I've been feeling down. There's no reason for it. It's time to get out of the slump. I know that it's Satan trying to attack me. This happens when people are looking toward God. As my friend learns more about the glory of God, I will be attacked as will she. I need to pray even more and stay in the Word every day. I know that God will prevail. He will win this battle.
For those who do not understand what I'm saying, ask me about it. Look into the Bible. It's the truth. It's the way to Heaven. Jesus is the way! The only way.
Last night my kitty got out. I just thank God that he was sitting on the back deck when Will let the dogs out this morning. He snuck out sometime last night when someone let the dogs out or in. I had no idea. I am just so glad he's ok. My poor kitty was hiding for a while this morning. Honestly, it was by God that he didn't get hurt. A few nights ago there were 3 cats fighting in the yard behind us. I'm so glad my kitty is fine.
