Teach Me O, Lord

Been quite some time since my last entry...apparently I've not seen the importance of recording my thoughts. Days have been busy & I have been tired. The last 5-6 months have proved to be a bit of a roller coaster ride for me. I've allowed myself to get my hopes set high only to see them come crashing down. Disappointment has set in. I've anticipated much & in doing so, been let down. Throughout these times, I've been reminded repeatedly of James' words: " Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have it's perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." - James 1: 2-3 While every step of this journey has taught me something, my prayer is that first & foremost, I would allow God to use every moment to mold me more into His image. When the tears want to stream down my face, may I remember that my Heavenly Father has my best interest at heart & as much as I would like things my way & in my timing, His plans for my life will always be better. Lord, help me to wait patiently, trust wholly & be joyful always.
