not a Joseph
I bought some more stuff today for school. I'm leaving for school this friday, i can't believe its time to leave already. I can't wait to leave, this summer has been one of the hardest. It really was a good summer until the last few weeks. Everything just went wrong. But I don't want to complain. I know God is in control.
Just started reading a new book today. A book called David by Charles swindoll. It is so good. The first chapter really spoke to me. I really needed to read it, actually I felt led by God to read this book. Because for awhile now, I have felt totally isolated, lonely, wondering where my life is going, feeling like my life isn't going anywhere at all. Then I read in that book how David's life (the David in the Bible) was very isolated, lonely, going through the same boring routine everyday. And how God was preparing him for the leadership he would play in the future. So that really spoke to me.
But it is so hard. Sometimes I just want to quit to be honest. Its funny, some of my friends say that i'm a "Joseph" because i go through hard things all the time, and still remain faithful. I don't think my friends really know me that well. I'm not a Joseph, i'm more like a Peter or like a doubting Thomas.
But I do aspire to be like David, a man after God's own heart. Maybe one day I'll be more like David. That is my goal.
