A Comfort To Me

"Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes, and I will keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart. Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it. Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain! Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things and give me life in your ways. Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared. Turn away the reproach that I dread, for your rules are good. Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life!"

Psalm 119:33-40

Yesterday morning I prayed that I would have a good day at work, and that I would have a good attitude toward it all. God blessed me with a wonderful day. I didn't really want to go to work, but once I got there, I was in a cheerful and happy mood. God answered my prayer very effectively. Sometimes I don't mind my job at all, and other times I just dread it.
Yesterday the Lord showed me how blessed I am with this job. Even though washing dishes is not the most fun thing in the world, you can learn a lot from it. You just have to have the right attitude. Before I even started my job, Emma told me that I had 8 wonderful hours to pray all that I wanted. I've recently started doing that. My prayer life has not been as faithful as I would like, but God is helping with me it. I treasure the times I get to pray before each meal, and I love when I can pray while washing dishes.

The Lord has been teaching me many things this last month (Can you believe it's already been a month). I feel like I've grown in many different ways. I've experienced things I've never really had to deal with before C of O, and old, painful experiences have somehow crawled their way back into my little head. But I keep telling myself that it's OK. Because...

God is good!
Always.
Always.
God is good!
