Romans 12:12 says, "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
Yet, for me, that patience is so hard. I see my life where I want it to be, and where it is now, and they seem so far apart. Obviously where God wants me to be is not where I think I need to be. I know that He has a great and glorious plan for me. I just wish he could send me a text or instant message letting me know what that plan is :)
God is a miracle worker. And this week I am going to focus on those miracles. Like the moment in my classroom where I had a million things that needed to be done, but God blessed me with the moment to sit for a couple minutes and watch one of my students jam out and dance out at his desk. So innocent and so sweet. Moments like that make me thankful. I'm focusing on the miracle that I have a job, a place to live, a car, wonderful family, and Jesus by my side everyday. I may not get everything done that I think "needs" to be done or "needs" to happen, but God takes care of the things that He needs me to get done. And those items on His list are all that matters.
I am focusing on the miracle of others giving hearts. Their sweet kind souls are helping us reach our dream of helping those in Uganda. So awesome. I am focusing on the miracle that my sister has a chance to get healed and healthy. SO THANKFUL.
Those other petty things are so unimportant in the scheme of life. I'm living God's life and the best part is I'm not doing alone. Jesus is by my side day in and out conquering it all with me. <3
