When in doubt, the BIBLE does wonders for you. It makes you feel comfortable, like someone's lifting up your burdens. And the words in the text speaks to you. Does wonders. I felt the doubt again today, about me and my program - I got my mark back for econ and I felt bad about myself. I thought I studied lots for it and understood the concepts pretty well - apparently I didn't. So I came back feeling crummy and I didn't feel like working so I read the Bible. I wanted to talk to God. And it was good, cause big ol daddy CHAN sent me his link to his blog, and I read the first one, and wow, it related to me oh so much. Take off that mask! Why do we doubt God? He always stands by us, no matter what happens, and if anything, it should be the reverse: God doubting us (that sounds odd). Since we're so stricken with our own lives, whether it being satan tempting you or things that lead you astray from God, I'd say we shouldn't have the choice of doubting God's promises to us.
Oh so true. oh very true. And the GREATEST thing is, you can talk to God about everything! He knows what's going on in your lives and even if you feel that you're just talking to the air, just BELIEVE :) and I guarantee that God is listening 100%. 100%.
"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double minded man, unstable in all he does." - James 1: 6-8
As I was reading the BIBLE, I came across a passage taken from 2 Corinthians 12:9;
..."My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.This is Paul writing to the church in Corinth, and he talks about boasting not of himself, but of his weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:5). I wanna meet Paul!! He is soo insightful! I would love to chit-chat with him one day! But yes, don't boast about your accomplishments, but your weaknesses! Hi, I am Doris, and my weakness at the moment is business. I do not understand much about it and it hurts my brain studying for it, but it is okay! God is going to help me! And I believe that He's there for me every single step of the way. And even if I'm going nuts over a midterm or test or a final exam that's coming up, all in all, I'll do my best, and God does the rest. (it rhymes too! double hooorah!) ohoh! quoted from me mommy! (definitely worth remembering!)
act of love 23 - COTTON CANDY LOVE. I saw a cotton candy booth today! and I really wanted cotton candy, but I didn't get it -.- (hahahahahaah) Anyways, Iwas late for my math class and I remembered that Lisa was sitting at a booth for csa during 11:00 to 1:30; she also told me to drop by and say hello!. And so as I was walking slash speed walking down ring road, I stopped and just wondered, hey, I'm already late, might as well stop by and say hi and support her. And off I went to her! (imagine epic music in the background) and she was happy and asked me to sign up for speed dating (ouuuuuu) and I saw cotton candy (y)
PRAISE GOD when I'm down and doubting (in the short-run haha)! and again, for this great weather!!! :)
