Things are just out of control lately. My emotions have run haywire. I am very stressed out. I applied to live in the village next year. Not my first choice but pretty much my only at this point. I just pray I get in cause it is past the "priority" deadline.
When I get really stressed other things seem to be working against me. Little things that shouldn't bother me do. So I turn to Him. Last night I was in a bad mood. I stopped studying to spend some time with Him to help me get focused and stop being...human. I am reading 1 Corinthians 13 and it just so happened it was this verse that seemed VERY appropriate to how I was feeling:
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Basically God was telling me to stop being so selfish. It is so amazing to me when He speaks directly to us. Ask and He will give you an answer. Even if it is the one I don't want to hear. I just need to let go and let God. Its not like I have any control anyway.
