The past few days have been rough for me. I've been sitting at home bored -literally- to tears. I've been drowning in my own selfpity, feeling worthless. With no extra activities and no real means on physical contact with my friends or family [because we live so far away from everyone], I am afraid that I'm not taking advantage of the opprotunities the Lord has laid before me. I thought that if I had something to do I would be happy, but happiness is fleeting. And when I broke down in tears in front of my Grandmother, it had to be something bigger than "just having nothing to do". The emptiness I was feeling was where God was suppose to be. Instead of being grateful, I was being selfish and was growing weary of the world thinking that God had nothing to do with my troubles and doubting His power. His tests are the perfect reminders that He is Almighty. He renews our strength and brings us out stronger in the end. Don't doubt God.
Isaiah 40:28-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

I know, I keep commenting on almost every post :) but you say a lot of things that I've either been thinking about or struggling with recently.
For me, it has been more of friend issues but the principle is the same: we need to lean on the Lord and it is from Him that we have strength. He is to be our security, confidante, and trust.
What a precious post. I love that you're comfortable enough to share what you've been going through, Kyndel. I'm praying for you, sweet friend; you encourage me so much with your devotion to the Lord. Thank you. Love ~ Jordan
