I must study harder. I must. Another slate of dismal grades have come in and I am saaaaaad :(
AghhhHhdkjlaskdj!!~
Ohwell, even though this week has been a pretty crap week (cue relentless coughing and congested nasal passages and mystery itching bites.... and now poor grades), I can't help but feel a little spark of joy that God is watching over me and building me up bit by bit. Okay, admittedly, when the fact that I was both sick and itching from phantom bugs was shoved right in front of my face, I wailed. Like a girl. I wailed girlishly. But God really blessed me with an amazing housemate like David. He even tested my bed last night and came out without a trace of a bite. Honestly, I wouldn't have gone through this week without David's help. Best housemate in the world, really!
Ha ha, I couldn't help but think of Job this entire week, ever since I first started itching. How he trusted God from beginning til end, still praising Him, even though he'd gone through so much suffering (far, far, faaaaar worse than I have, why am I still complaining?!) because he knew God was a sovereign, loving God. And that really encouraged me. To hold on to God's loving and sovereign nature even in bleak(er) times and never stop trusting and praising Him.

Err...have you read Job lately? :D I just finished it recently and to say that he trust God to the end might be overstating the case a little ;)
haha the last time i read it was.. two years ago i think? oops yeh, i think all that's imprinted in my head from that book was the first chapter and the last. i remember the stuff in between was really hard to trawl through.
