The first, my purse was stolen. A huge blessing that nothing important was in it! The second was in the middle of the night at my apartment complex. I started wishing that I had never had a car ... but then began to see the blessings through these incidents.<BR/><BR/>Unrested / restless - I haven't been sleeping well at all lately and even when I try to convince myself that I am giving all my worries to God my mind goes on and on all night ... except when I welcome the help of ny-quill! Also I feel restless ... not that I am not content where I am now, but that this isn't it so what more could I be doing about the future or am I missing sometime that God is throwing in my face!?!<BR/><BR/>Also the change in lifestyle over the last few months has left me having to re-define the image I have/had of myself. Sometimes I don't feel like myself ... and that is weird.<BR/><BR/>But, through everything, I have some God-given, amazingly supportive housemates and a growing group of new Christian friends. I can honestly say I have never in my life looked forward to Sundays so much!<BR/><BR/>Sorry for my rambling, but I just wanted you to know that you aren't alone and "God works everything for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose" ... and I am 1000% positive that includes YOU! :)<BR/><BR/>love ya, Bro ... and praying for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
