Thank you SO incredibly much, beautiful ladies and sisters in Christ for your words of wisdom, encouragement, and hope. I greatly appreciate it-this is what I mean when I talk about the body of Christ. What in the world would we do without it?! Thank you for helping put things in perspective and affirming that I am not the only one who has had these thoughts! I know it is part of life, and makes us stronger in our walk-and I am thankful we can carry each other along on this journey-wherever it may take us!
I have had a lot of thoughts run through my mind this week. I know a lot of my feeling unstable and so strange had to do with the medicine I was taking...which speaking of, I had to go to the doctor AGAIN on Monday!! The strep just did not want to let go. After some blood work, a shot, and another round of antibiotics which I will take through next Thursday (woo hoo!), I should be good to go! I also had an interview on Monday. I definitely had a few firsts that day-I don't think I have ever had an interview and gone to the doctor on the same day!! Also, the interview I had was through a webcam-that was definitely a first. It was interesting. I don't think I am too fond of that! We will see what happens-it was one of those interviews where I feel like it could go either way, so again I wait...
I have been thinking a lot about what I briefly touched on before-I think so much of what we do really is based on the decisions we make. Yes, God is always with me, with us-no matter where I (we) go. I know that for sure-that is confirmed. That is what gives me hope and assurance. There have been times when I have been able to see His clear leading-and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt it was Him, and I followed. There are other times where I pray and pray, and still don't know where to go or what to do. It is at those times I know I have to use the wisdom God has given me to discern what the best choice is, and after evaluating my options to just do it. That is where I am. I just want to make a decision and go for it. I am ready.
I appreciate the verse Rachel gave me, and hope it encourages you in your walk today:
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything". ~James 1:2-4

That's so interesting. My verse for this year to go along with my word - Wisdom is James 1:5 which says: "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." One version says he gives without reproach and then explains that as without regard to our unworthiness. I love that. He loves us so much he just gives. You may not feel a firm leading right now but maybe he's trusting you with all the wisdom he has already poured into you. Blessings on that interview and I hope you feel better soon.
I LOVE that verse. Rachel is amazing, and always knows the right thing to say.
When you are sick, everything seems worse. Hopefully, this sickness will run its course, and you will start feeling better.
Your blog is incredibly uplifting. Even though you are going through these struggles and not knowing where your life is going right now, your faith is lifting me up and making me stronger. I love reading your blog, and all the verses that you apply to your life. Thank you for sharing your struggles, it makes me know that I am not the only one with questions and struggles.
