So... The move went fairly smoothly over the weekend. I think that single people need to move every couple years if for no other reason than to prompt them to get rid of accumulated stuff that they don't need. I used to think I didn't have too much stuff, then I started packing...
Anyways, yesterday morning feels like it was days ago, and as I've felt more tired it's been increasingly difficult to not grow angry and bitter at things that don't go my way. The disappointing performance review at work, slow progress in unpacking, bad traffic, an email that I think I shouldn't have sent -- it can all be very discouraging. You've said that quietness and trust will be my strength, that repentance and rest will be my salvation. Please forgive me for my oppressive anger and bitterness -- please help me to repent of these. Please help me to rest in Your provision, to believe that Your plans are still in place and they are still better than my dreams. Please quiet the thoughts that tell me everything I'm doing will turn out wrong. Please help me to trust You enough to be willing to trust others, to think the best of them and to not let my deceitful suspicions undermine that trust.
Please be my strength ans salvation -- I really need You right now.
