Bitterness, Loneliness, Patience & HOPE!!!

Well, it's been about a week since I put out a new blog, so I figured it was time again. I want to tell you a few things that are on my mind...Tax time, Bitterness, Loneliness, & Patience.

Tax time: My estimated taxes are due Tomorrow & I have no idea how to figure it out!!! I have Revival meeting tonight so I don't have time to do it. My life has been sooooo crazy lately! No time for anything. I am freaking out about the taxes. I really don't know what I'm gonna do.

Bitterness: The Bible says in Ephesians 4:31-32: Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
I have had a tough time with bitterness in my life :( The Lord has convicted my heart over & over so many times about having this in my life. I also have a hard time with evil speaking, be honest, who doesn't? Monday night of revival, the Lord SO got a hold of my heart about being bitter & cold. I pray that with God's help, this mess will be out of my life quickly!

Loneliness: It's hard being alone. This has been weighing my spirit down so much lately. I want to live right & please the Lord, but I'm ready to do that with the person I am supposed to spend the rest of my life with. I get very impatient sometimes, but I am 28 years old & I feel like I should have already reached that point in my life. All the people my age are married & have kids. I feel sometimes as if I will never grow up :( It gets annoying sometimes, but what else am I gonna do? A friend of mine told me to get a hobby to keep myself busy. I don't know what I like to do?!? I love to shop, but that cost too much money! LOL! I really hope the Lord helps me to get content in whatever I am going through so that He will send me that person :) I hope it is soon!

Patience: Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. James 1:3-4 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh PATIENCE. But let PATIENCE have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
I struggle with this the most! I hope God will instill this virtue in my life, b/c God only knows that I have waited on a lot of things for a long time, but just when I should be getting used to it/content, I get impatient instead. Maybe I should get a hobby. Things might be a little easier for me.

Hope:
Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the DESIRES of thine heart.
Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be CONTENT.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be CONTENT with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Thank you Lord for your promises! Pray for me...

  2. Thanks Michelle :) I really feel like it will be easier for me to be even more real in a "nicer" way. It has helped me a lot. I just wish I had more time to put into it.
