Well it's been a great week! God has allowed me to have several opportunities to encourage and be encouraged. I was filled this week and what a joy it was to be overflowing from the time spent with the Lord. Saying all of that, it wasn't a perfect week. On Monday, the first day after making this commitment the devil came tempting and succeeded. He knows my weaknesses and I thought that if I gave in this one time it would be my last and I would somehow no longer be tempted by it. I hate this struggle and I don't really want to sin. I want to please God but my flesh is so weak. I know that sin leaves happiness for a season but ultimately leaves you feeling empty and dry. It never quenches the thirst it only makes it worse in the end. I am making it known to all of my support group that I am struggling in this area and truly want to defeat this and I know that with God I can I just need to trust him.
Wednesday I went to Resonate with my friend and was able to reconnect with her and talk about what is really on our hearts. I was able to share with her about my one year journey with God. We were able to really talk about how to pray better for each other.
Thursday was a great night! I enjoyed working at CFA bought everyone dessert and served great customers! I went to my mom's after work because my SISTER and her family were in town and I wanted to see them. I came home to some sad news from a friend of mine. He's trying to figure out this for his daughter and her mother decided she'd just leave so she moved to TN with her and has not contacted him since. Things are getting way out of proportion. It's just not good for anyone when it's constant arguing. I'm not saying I know how to fix it but I am pretty sure that's not going to help anything. I've prayed about it a lot and I know that God looks out for His children and so I am sure that He knows the plan for my friend and his daughter.
Friday was a bad night at CFA and my last night too. A couple of good things happened but the majority was just crazy ans reminds me of a few of the reasons I am no longer working there. I love the people, but some things just aren't worth it. I spent the morning before work paying bills and putting a deposit on my summer vacation :) I'm so excited to take a full week and be away with my friends!
Saturday I was able to sleep a little bit, I cleaned up my room and I did a little shopping before heading into work. Work was crazy busy and the computers were out but it was still a great night and the people were great. I got to see some old friends and they were so encouraging and were so happy to see me healthy and well! It was a great night!
Sunday, today was great. I got up and served on the greeting team this morning. After finishing my shift on doors a little early to warm up I called Patrick to meet up with him at church. Well when he answered he scared me because he was really right behind me. My heart was racing for the next 10 minutes no joke! But the service was excellent and then lunch for dad's birthday was a great time with everyone.
I'm looking forward to starting another week with Bible Study tomorrow night after work! Thanks for reading y'all! I'll write again soon!
BTW I'm down another 4 pounds :)
