I went to a church party tonight. It was actually a picnic. I had went to the restroom and on my way back, someone stopped me and said, "Ashlee, I was sitting across the yard from you and I saw you, and I said to myself, she is getting to be so pretty." I wanted to cry. Little did this person know, I was feeling depressed. Which you all could have figured from my last blog. I'm just stressed; I'll get over it, eventually. Anyway, I'm in a really good mood, so I figured I should probably write while I'm happy and not when I'm ticked.
I want to try to write about one of my favorite passages of Scripture. Job 10. I'm going to break it up into sections so that it's not one big long article.
Job 10:1-5
~1. My soul is weary of my life: I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in bitterness of my soul.
~2. I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
~3. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest opress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked
~4. Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
~5. Are thy days as the days of man? or are thy years as man's days?
Sorry to leave you on a questioning note there. To put you into the mindset of Job while he was writing that, He had lost his family, and pretty much all he owned. He felt as though God was rejecting him, as if maybe he did something wrong. But in all actuality, God was proving himself through Job. So all I can say right now, is there will be hard times, but God is only trying to prove his glory through you. So just keep looking up. I had to teach myself that, and after reading those 5 verses, I am beginning to realize this, more and more, every time I read them.
