The past two weeks have been pretty tough. Though it's been hard, God is teaching me so much right now. Mostly just about trusting Him. I was reading today in Mark about how the story where Jesus calmed the storm. Right now I feel like the desciples did. Not feeling like I'm gonna die or anything like that (no, I am def. not emo.. *shivers*.. lol) but feeling so afraid of what all is going on & feeling as though lifes just out of control. But then I look at that story. All Jesus had to do was say "peace, be still" and the storm obeyed Him. Before the storm even came He was already in control over it. Before any of this crazy stuff happened Jesus was in control and He still is. I don't know what He's doing right now but I do know that He's in control and has a purpose for it. And when He's ready for the storm to end He'll make it do so. But all I have to do is trust Him. Don't you hate it when something sounds so simple but is almost impossible to do? I know I do. It sounds so simple.. Just trust the Lord to get you through ___________ fill in the blank, but sometimes that is so hard to do. Anyways yeah...............
Karate has been going well. Started kick-a-thon prep this week which has been okay. I'm still a little bit sore but not terribly. XMA is going well. Kama is quite a challenge but little by little I'm getting it. Sword class is going really well. But right now my favorite class is helping the little dragons. I dont know why but I've always been drawn to little kids. You'd think I'd hate them after growing up in such a zoo. Sometimes I wish I Was still so little. Too little to understand the craziness of our world. Life seemed so simple back then. But then I guess if life was so simple it wouldn't really mean as much. Anyways.. Lunch time. Hope y'all have a great day!
