I finally realized today that this is just the way life is. LIFE IS HARD. Life sucks. Life is consumed by temptation, trials and just plain yuck. God puts it there to bring me to Him. I was reminded of that tonight. So, after that realization, I decided that I am going to embrace it. I know I can do anything with God at my side! I know I have many more weeks like the last one in my future that just suck in every way imaginable and I'm glad! I know I can make it through with no problem.
Work is tough, but I've been getting 40 hours a week. Granted, it's not fair in any way the kind of situations I've been put into. But that is what I'm going to focus on.. I'm getting the money I need. I am showing God's love to my coworkers by stepping up every single day.
Friends are tough. I have gotten screwed over by at least 3 people this week alone. It hurts and it's hard. God showed me that I placed my friends above Him, as an idol. I relyed on them instead of Him and now it's time to go to the one who can really do the impossible. There are seasons to friendships and I have entered into a new season. I've made countless friends this week and I am looking forward to growing relationships with them. My birthday party is going to be so much fun, I have 100 people and counting on my invite list. Even though it is rare for me to enjoy my birthday, I decided to make it fun this time.
Exhaustion is tough, but I can handle it. I've become acclamated to an average of 4 hours of sleep with no problem. I work 8 or 9 hour days, 6 days a week and have a minimum of 4 hours of homework during the week on top of 3 hour classes at night. I don't have time to sleep anymore, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Luckily God has provided me with the strength I need to make it through every single day.
Boys are tough. Once again, I've had a miserable night with someone I thought could never be a jerk. I am taking all this to mean that I'm not meant to have a boyfriend during this time. I have my own goals and I'm looking for a responsible man with real ambitions and a Godly heart. I've yet to find one that fits this description. It's disappointing that I spent 70 bucks of hard earned money on a worthless night.
I got fed up with the tough factor this week. I was reminded of how mighty my savior is tonight. I have never felt so safe. This is who I was called to be and I intend to do my absolute best to live up to it. I constantly struggle, suffer and fall but that is not considered failure in His eyes. I'm scared, but I'm just holding on to God who is going to get me through. He wouldn't hand me anything I couldn't handle.
I'm ready.
