oh to love

but

Hey-
WOW...this week has been crazy already and it's only Monday..lol today we went to the beach and let me tell you it was sooo fun! It was deff a day that I needed to just chillax and hang out w/ friends! God has blessed me so much *shakes head* Lol

Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:4-5

When things are going bad…and when things aren’t going the way we wanted them to go….how easy is it to praise the Lord? How is it to trust in him…and the fact that no matter what happens he will take care of us?.....I don’t know about you but for me it’s not very easy at all…Psalm 30:4-5

Weeping ie…(trials, frustration, anger) may endure for the night…but JOY comes in the morning! Being a Christian doesn’t mean that our lives are going to be filled with rainbows and butterflies(So to speak) Part of being in this sinful world is being in a life filled with sin….Gossip, bitterness, and hate.
The thing is that we have to chose the kind of life that we are going to lead. The true Christian…better said the true follower of God has an awareness that no matter what goes on in our lives, God will always take care of us. Whatever concerns us concerns God! And whatever trials we are going through it is for the Glory of God that we are going through this. And also to grow us, and mature is into the women God wants us to be.
He promises that the weeping may endure for the night but the joy comes in the morning…The morning may not be right away..it may not be the next day..and it may not be the next month of the next year even…but it will happen…and even if that morning is the day you get to heaven what an amazing morning of joy that will be!
Until the “morning” comes we have to continue on. We have to pray to God daily and ask him to give us joy in the times when all we want to do is lay down in our beds cover our heads with our pillow and scream until we fall asleep….

Psalm 30:11-12=You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, to the end that my glory may sing praise to you and not be silent. O Lord my God I will give thanks to you forever.

It is also an awesome thing to remember that God will give us joy…that’s hard to remember during trials..when we don’t feel the “happiness” we often times forget about the joy…
He has done this that our glory will be for his praise…that when we go through these things and we have true joy that only the Lord can give us..other people are going to be looking on and wondering what we have. This in itself is an awesome testimony that we have. In life we have to show that we have more hope then the average person. Our what can people say is different about our lives?

It’s awesome to remember that our God knows what we are made of…he knows what we can handle and what we cannot…..

. Psalm 30:11-12 says “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, to the end that my glory may sing praise to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I Will give thanks to you forever

Im just a stupid girl i know that..and sometimes it just really...frustrates me...I dont know how much longer I can deal w/ this truthfully..it hurts a lot :(
UGHS But God is in control and I know through him I can do anything!

In the end...does it matteR?

OK! So today we had our meeting for Spanish Open Air Evangelism..the best way to explain it is..we will be working w/ spanish people, familes, churches, and other things in NYC and NJ I have never been more excited...I am so pumped to see God do amazing things through our team! :) I am going to begin working again on not being hurt so easily..and guarding my heart because Im doing a bad job again -_-.It gets really frustrating you know..when you think your doing a good job and then all of a sudden it starts failing...like yesterday *sigh* When we had to hold hands @ church and..it was a bad move I should have moved and walked away but kevin and i held hands..and then when I was sleeping that day in the car he was like"oh princess sarah wont you please wake up"I just...I hate being like this...I really do..this is not the girl I am..and I had a thought yesterday which MUST have been from God....Im going to get someone so much better then him...If he isn't the one for me..if he is I dont know why I like him so much..because quite honestly he hurts me a lot more then he makes me laugh...but truthfully I do like him a lot so we will see..idk *screams in pillow* i tell you..now we are going on ministry..and today he just said something funny you know but it hurt..and I just..I need to get my head back in the "game" So to speak..we are spending all summer together I am not going to let this stupid cruch get int he way of my God...and the amazing things that can happen for him *sigh* I just cant let it happen....It's going to be hard but apparently i need to stop hanging out w/ him so much again...maybe it will make things better, easier....Especially if we both come back next year..which currently (I think) we both plan to do..so..we will see what God has for me..I am quite excited to tell you the truth...it's so many emotions so much....drama playing out in my head and truthfully i wish it wasnt happening..but guess what..it Is and I know w/ God I can do all things so I shouldn't even be worrying about it.. Im not going to say anything though because i really...really dont want it to be weird....*sighs* hehhgdhghggkjdhfjd; (thats how i feel)
