The Switchfoot concert was AWESOME!! I have been wanting to see them in concert for years and years-and it was really great. I "heard" Jars of Clay and saw some of Third Day (who I have seen before)-and they were both good, but I mainly went for Switchfoot. We also got around 900 people to sign up for the ONE campaign-which by far passed the goal of 500 and set a record!! My niece also came with me, loved it, and was great at also getting the word out about ONE (she had no idea what it was beforehand!), so that made it even better...and to top it all off, because I helped-it was FREE (even the parking!) Awesome deal.
No word on the job-I am pretty sure it is a no go at this point, which is beyond frustrating. I don't really want to go into that right now, because I am having a lot of faith and trusting issues. I keep hearing that I just need to be patient, the right job is out there, I just haven't found it yet, God has a plan and it will be revealed at the right time...I'm not buying much of that right now. It sounds nice in my head-but my reality and what I feel in my heart does not reflect the same thing.
Don't get me wrong-I still believe in God, love Him, follow Him, and worship Him-none of that has changed-but the concepts of my faith have drastically changed, and I feel like this whole ball is in my court-yet it seems like no matter what I do or how hard I try-there is always something standing in the way. Yes, that is a lot of frustration and doubt talking-but I would rather be honest than just think it will all be alright-because that is just false hope, and I can't see that right now.
Since these posts seem to be redundant in the same thing (which HAS to be boring for those reading), I would like to shift things on this blog-not sure where I will take it, but I want it to be something that challenges and inspires.
Thank you all for your continued support, prayers, and encouragement. I hope you will check back often, as I would like to blog more often, to engage you in discussion, challenge you to think, and encourage you in your walk-which sometimes means limping, carrying, running, or leaping-but I want it to be something we do together.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. ~Hebrews 12:1-3

I'm game.
I have trust issues with God, too, even though I don't want to. And I'm all about honesty. Liked your post. :-)
Good post, Kat. You know ... we rehearse stories where it seems God moves in Grand ways ... and then when we NEED him to move in some grand way... we wonder why He isn't. I think we need to rehearse stories of choosing to believe even when God doesn't make the sun shine in our lives as we would like. Your story. My story. I don't know why God didn't protect my son, and I never will know. It's not about disbelief ... it's about being challenged to believe more than ever.
