I'm struggling today.......
It's 7 weeks until my position at the college is finished. I have put in for countless jobs, and have only interviewed for three of them. Problem is I am extremely overqualified for most things, and yet don't have the qualifications to teach. So, I'm sort of stuck in limbo.
Anyway, please pray for this situation. I need to stay at the college for a variety of reasons - but I will do what God wants me to do - and if that means going elsewhere, I will. I just don't think he'd give me one of my dreams and then have it snatched away because I can't stay at the college.
The other thing is that there IS an opening in my department - for which I am more than qualified and the lack of enthusiasm from the superiors is amazing. I'm taking it very personally. I know I should not, however, when you're basically not asked to put in for the position - I tend to think it means they do not want me around. Not a fun environment to be in right now.
So, I ask prayer for that as well - that my attitude stays proper and that the right job opens up for me.

will lift you up too Lisa, that definately seems like an awkward spot right now ...
joy - i did not hear the birds singing. even though i didn't oversleep i still kinda had to rush around getting us ready for school & work since i set the alarm later than usual.
hmmm i guess this is what i was like in high school: i mostly kept to myself the first couple years in highschool only having a few friends. my junior year as a lot more fun as i got to know more people and do things with them such as hang out at hockey games or concerts. i got my sports letter the last semester of my last year from the tennis team. we had a really good team always going undefeated so that's some consolation to me not making the team my first two years :) i did quite a lot of studying and finished up with good grades even tho i slacked off a tiny bit in my senior year due to having a girlfriend... so that's what i was like in high school... oh i got saved the summer before my senior year too !!!

........ I totally messed up my high school years. 
Those years were sooo difficult for me... I had no idea I was messed up... from the inside out...
When people say... "oh I wish I could go back... " I cringe.
.....
Lisa... what an exciting place to be in... you are in a place where you must totally and completely depend on God to come through for you...
I'm in the same place....
It will be cool to see how God works in your life!!! 
......

As do I - I hated high school - other than the fact that it got me into college.
Thanks, yes, it is exciting - terrifying, but exciting at the same time.

Oh, I have no fear - it's the exciting fear of God and what He's going to do - knowing that it's WAY more than I can ever imagine. When you're used to no's and rejections and closed doors all your life, getting yeses and open doors and blessings takes some getting used to - and believe me, He's pouring them out right now.

All I can think about is how much I miss my daddy..........How I wish he was still here.........How much my family has fallen apart since he left us.........how much I wish I could go back a year and do things so different..........Then maybe daddy would not have died........but I can't.
I want to have faith and believe someday a man will love me as much as my father. That somewhere out there is a man who will not just tolerate my ramblings but will listen to them.......someone who will know God is speaking to me as I share the things He says to me because their spirit will come into agreement with what my spirit is sharing.
I want to believe......I do.
But I don't Lord..........I don't believe.........and I am so sorry I don't.
Every time I close my eyes today, to try and keep the tears from falling, I see my daddy.........I see him laugh. I see the love and kindness in his eyes. I see his thoughtful expression after I have shared something exciting God showed me in His Word or the clouds or even something His spirit spoke to my spirit.
How is it that emotionally I can be so messed up yet my spirit is dancing and singing? How can joy and grief go hand in hand?
Satan has not robbed my joy..........He no longer has the right to do so.........But why hasn't God taken away my grief?
Why does it seem like my world is falling apart and I am not strong enough to hold it together?
LOL Sorry I couldn't help laughing at the question that just came to mind...........
Why am I telling a bunch of strangers these thoughts LOL
I don't know.........I don't know anything anymore.

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners, [a]
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.
Isaiah 61:1-3

Because as we struggle, it helps others in their own struggles. No one has a "perfect" life. If we do, then something is wrong....because it's not what God says will happen.
Joy and grief DO go hand in hand.

No I do know one thing for sure...........
I know no matter how much the rain falls, or how dark the clouds..........I know that even as the thunder roars that up above those dark clouds.........past the darkness and rain.......the Son still shines.......
I know that storms come and go.........I know they never stay in the same place for long........for I know the wind can not be stilled and He will always blow away the clouds.
I know their is joy in my spirit because unlike my emotions.......my spirit has eyes to see beyond the dark storm clouds.
My dailyjoy today..........that just like the sun joy rises every morning and is not dependent on the weather forecast.

I know in my mind this is true.......I would even say my spirit is in agreement but why can't I get my heart and emotions to see the truth here.
I read this very over and over.......trying to plant the truth in my heart........yet it won't stick........and when? When does he bestow a crown of beauty of me? When do his ashes turn to gladness........when does my mourning go away and I put back on the garment of praise which fits me so much better then the one of mourning?
splendor........does anyone know the song where it talks about the splendor of his name.........I can hear it yet can't hear it in my head.

Some people wonder why I ask questions all the time..........
It is just the way my mind works...........it ask questions.....
Maybe because only by asking can I be in the position to hear God's reply.
Thank you for tolerating my little pity party.
And thank you for your encouragement.........I know often it is hard to think of what to say when someone is posting based on emotions.......
But you know one of the things I love so much about the Lord? He is rarely silent. He voice is only silenced by me.......
He is talking again.......
Splendor jumped out at me and God told me to go read Psalm 8......I did.....
Now my heart is rejoicing and I feel as though I am soaring........
You know the funny thing? My mind is not even sure what Psalm 8 said to my spirit but whatever it said.........it was sure the right thing.
I have no doubt God will expand a little more on what he is saying to me later.....so that my mind, soul and spirit all understand.

How is it that emotionally I can be so messed up yet my spirit is dancing and singing? How can joy and grief go hand in hand?
When M died my family came down for the funeral. First time in 4 years that they had been to my house and only the third time in 18 years. I ws overjoyed to have them there. I found myslef very happy at times and very sad the next moment.
Joy and grief are not opposite emotions. We can feel overwhelming joy that our loved one is in heaven and yet be grieving to the very core of our being that we don't have them with us anymore. Truly one eye can be laughing while the other cries.
The good thing in this is that the joy will increase (and you Joy, know how to tap into the Father's joy. We've all seen the wonders that he reveals to you in the simplest of things) and the grief will fade. But we have to grieve until we are done grieving. It's OK to cry for the loss of your dad for as long as you feel you need (want) to.
