I found this one today while searching for something else. I think it's worth sharing:
My friends all started school this
week. Tonight, I got paid to rope calf dummies, play Arenaball, eat
s'mores, and hang out with 5th graders. ...I am beyond excited that I
get to do this... I love my job. I hope I can love and serve well here
over the next 12 months. Constant prayers for patience, energy, and
endurance.
I
was thinking today about that day at the coffee shop, back in January.
He was writing on his computer, and I was journaling and reading. ...I
was upset at the situation, and I was angry for being put in such an
awkward position.
I
found Romans 8. I remember looking across the table and saying, "Man.
Nothing else matters." And I had peace. He closed his computer and
listened as I read aloud and talked.
Romans
8. Straight up truth, and honestly nothing that I am battling matters
when placed next to that. Victory is mine in Christ. All day, every day.
The
same is true now. 8 months and chapters later, a pile of junk and the
road trip of getting from there to here. The past months have challenged
and stretched and drained me more than words can express. But even in
broken relationships and seasons in the desert, Romans 8. I will cling
to that and wait patiently and confidently for the Lord. #encouragement
