FaceBook Loves to Collide with My Thoughts!
So, I'm struggling a lot these past couple of weeks. I'm frustrated with many things right now, and asking God for confirmation and assurance. We're studying 2 Corinthians right now, and situations seem to relate to my personal life.
I'm not sure if I'm grateful or irritable that every single Book of the Bible we study ALWAYS seems to parallel in some way to my personal struggles. And today, during class, I was reconciling some thoughts in my mind. Then, I get on FB to check my messages and the first thing I see is this post I made six years ago. Apparently I was struggling the same way back then too, but I learned to trust in Him. When I reacted out loud to it, one of my classmates asked me what was wrong. I updated her and she read my post. Her remark was, "Makes you feel like you've really progressed, doesn't it?" All I could do was laugh!
It's ironic. It's even humorous. But at the same times it's sad because we have to keep learning and relearning to trust God over and over again. He keeps showing us that He'll take care of us, we rejoice when we realize it, and then we go back to doubting. ...I suppose the greatest praise of all is that He's still there with us regardless if we're doubting it or not.

"Well, I held on to faith through some tough circumstances, and He took care of the issue at hand. Does it mean everything's over? No. Does it mean that I won't continue to face more problems? No. But it does mean that I have a loving Father Who is taking care of me and seeing me through the difficult times. And I also know that I'm not supposed to 'change the plans.' God made them. I need to be faithful and obedient."

Perhaps I should take a lesson from myself.
