I woke up early and showered. Then I went to see Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo at 11:05am and it was very good. I loved the mom in the movie. After I got out of the movie I had 50 gajillion voicemails (both on cell and at home) and emails about my dad locking his keys in his truck and him needing me to go bring him his keys. Well, of course I was in the movie, so I had my phone off--thinking it was thoughtful of me to go to an early showing, so I'd be available when my dad got off, in case he needed me....but I just got yelled at, so it made me very unpleasant. Then I got stuck in freaking devil traffic on I95 South for almost 40 mins just to go 12 miles. By the time I got home my dad had said we'd just go get the truck later and a coworker would drop him off, so when I got home I laid down because I had developed a mini migraine. So, now it's the evening and I'm hungry, but I don't know what I want. I didn't get a chance to work out today due to my headache. However, my weight is still falling off, so my metabolism must be picking up again with all the working out I have been doing. I'm doing laundry right now and thinking of something to eat.
Here's today's devotional:
The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. - DEUTERONOMY 29:29//////////Keep Trusting
All of us face disappointments from time to time. No matter how much faith you have or how good a person you are, sooner or later, something (or somebody!) will shake your faith to its foundations. It may be something simple, such as not qualifying for a loan to buy that house you really wanted. Or it may be something more serious--a marriage relationship falling apart, the death of a loved one, or an incurable, debilitating illness. Whatever it is, that disappointment possesses the potential to derail you and wreck your faith.
Recognize in advance that disappointments will come. Be prepared to trust God when they do.
