November.
Why not go for a 5th post in a row?
Gah. This month has simply been rough. And some of last month, too - referring mostly to my car.
Rough with basketball - not just that blog but other things as well, busy schedule, wedding things every weekend, friend stuff. And added this week...work. Again this morning, I almost quit. I think I've officially decided I'm going to start looking for another job. I just can't do it anymore and it takes a lot for me to reach my throw in the towel point. I've reached it and it has only been by the grace of God that I didn't quit Wednesday,Thursday and especially today.
I got out of work to head to practice and I ran out of gas. You know that moment where you just have to laugh to keep from crying? Honestly though, I did find the humor in it - I said out loud in my car alone, that just happened.
Thankfully though, it's 9:30 and I'm officially done with responsibilities until December starts. Here's hoping it doesn't resemble November. And even if it does, I am genuinely thankful for His joy. Honestly, it's not that often I consistently have horrible days but even in them and times of trial, I can be so thankful I serve God and my everlasting Hope is in Him. Nothing is more comforting to me.
James 1:2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
I'm thankful He cares enough to test me and to continue refining my faith in Him. That's a loving God who cares about His children.
With those thoughts, bring on December.
