Not weak....and, thankfulness re-mixes perspectives

<sup>*September 16th*
Yikes. It's been a minute since I've shared.
Actually started to post a week ago with this...

*September 9th*
19</sup>He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. ²⁰No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, ²¹fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. (Romans 4)

Refuge had our 2nd Dance for MS class last night, and this passage is hitting me hard/significantly today. What serves as a more constant (and possibly discouraging) reminder than our own bodies? A piece of glass cannot be the only mirror we're looking into on a daily basis...

*back to September 16th*
I'm tired...and I know it stems from not taking sufficient time to be still in His Presence - because it's when we're still, that we know He is God.
One of those days/weeks/seasons. lots going on, but I don't feel like I've been doing that much. Like I'm wayyy too focused on future events. *example: I nearly threw out a coupon yesterday because I thought it had already expired...the expiration date said 10/02/10. ((yikes))
and it's just little things that I've allowed to bug me!!
---3 days of orientation
---3 days of missing work/no pay
---guy I used to like trying to get back in touch, ew. =/
---guy that I still like but can't really talk to - Facebook pics popping up everywhere. cool.

THERE MUST BE MORE NOW, JESUS!

TOO MANY other GOOD things:
-Ginster having a breaking moment :)
-Jess feeling pursued
-Lady at church we've been praying for is no longer a lesbian!!!!!!!!!!
-gumbo
-flashmob
-ebb & flow
-my coworkers, family, friends
-Jamestown trip
-PD Atl!
-goody bags
-laughter, hugs, love
-Passion 2011 Live Link
-3 days of orientation & not having to worry about work, but blessed enough to focus on this new season of school...gain more clarity and excitement and purpose for my next few years of life at Life. :-)
-what a blessing to respond in love to dude I used to like...love my mom's initial comment, "Hm, it's amazing what a little bit of light can do for someone that's been walking in darkness."
-continuing to pray for my friend. God is so gracious to have his pictures keep popping up...just lifting up what my Father drops down.

thank you Jesus...start thanking & praising - see the complaints turn into opportunities and blessed, divine appointments by the grace of God. =)
hallelujah.
time to RE-set my mind on the things above, and not on earthly things. GREATER is HE that is in me. Pinkberry with my momma tomorrow. :) her first time! too fun. praise the Lord.
