so.....its been about 3 weeks since I've relocated back home (Washington, D.C.) and submitted my application for graduate school! While I was excited about these endeavours two weeks ago...I've recently found myself becoming inpatient!
As I sit here finishing my maple & brown sugar oatmeal and homemade coffee my mind races...........Why hasn't my job transferred to the city yet? Why is it taking so long for my previous institution to send my transcript! I have done my part! calling every week, following up, etc..... I mean there is but so much house work that can be done around here! and being in the house every week is getting old....this is me being inpatient!
On the flip side I have had the chance to do a lot of thinking, separating, and reading! These three have become a routine for me since i have abandoned all social networks....I cant say that I hate it either!
But, like always I got a glimpse of hope during my morning devotion time! check this out:
"When we are afraid, the least we can do is pray to God. But our Lord has a right to expect that those who name His name have an underlying confidence in Him. God expects His children to be so confident in Him that in any crisis they are the ones who are reliable. Yet our trust is only in God up to a certain point, then we turn back to the elementary panic-stricken prayers of those people who do not even know God. We come to our wits’ end, showing that we don’t have even the slightest amount of confidence in Him or in His sovereign control of the world. To us He seems to be asleep, and we can see nothing but giant, breaking waves on the sea ahead of us."
(from "my utmost for his highest" devotional www.rbc.org)
RIGHT ON TIME FOR ME!!!!
SO back to the excitement i possessed 2 weeks ago! even in the midst of me not "working" right now, getting a $50 ticket yesterday, car in and out the shop, charger to my mac book breaking, feeling alone, and whatever else has transpired lately! I STILL BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING GREAT IS COMING FOR ME! :)
P.s. I going to make my way to the thrift store today! last week I saw a Vintage Christian Dior bath robe for a whooping $7! DOPE! i pray its still there!

"There are stages in life when there is no storm, no crisis, when we do our human best; it is when a crisis arises that we instantly reveal upon whom we rely. If we have been learning to worship God and trust Him, the crisis will reveal that we will go to the breaking point and not break in our confidence in HIM"
