I've made it to work, but I want to turn right back around and head home except I don't ever want to deal with the stress of driving in this horrendous weather again! My drive to work was tense, I had rain coming from above, below and on the sides plus dense fog. (insert sarcasm here) Yup, it was a great drive to work. :-D (end sarcasm) I saw four accidents on the way in. I kept thinking if I can only get down the hill I'm sure the rain will mellow out... No such luck. The rain was just as hard, the only good thing about getting to the bottom of the hill was the fog was behind me. Now that I'm at work I'm moody and frustrated. Part of me wants to pack up and just drive back up the hill but then I'd have to deal with it all over again. There's barely anyone here at work so that makes it twice as hard to have to stay.
I'm also on edge because my family is packing and having a moving party on the 8th but we have no place to move to. :( So we may just be moving it to a storage unit. My parents have two places they are looking into today and I'm feeling extremely anxious. I have plenty of offers to stay with people but it would only be temporary and frustrating to have to live out of a suitcase until we found a place. I would deal if I had to, but I desperately don't want to have to. My hope and fervent prayer is that one of the houses they look at today will be the answer. I know God is in control but sometimes it's hard to let him take control of these types of things. Things that may make my life uncomfortable. But God won't give me anything I can't handle, but he will stretch me... This might be a stretching time, and well I should be grateful because as my favorite book of the bible, James, says "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." Ok so Jesus is testing my faith to develop perseverance. Ok Lord, I hear ya... I'll keep my hope in You.
So ok sorry about that. God was speaking to me as I wrote that. I know "in all things give thanks", so thank you Lord for this trial, it is meant to bring me closer to you.
Well I should get to work.
