God intrigues me...

Today has been one hell of a day. Well, really, this week has been insane, and it's only Wednesday. I've had to deal with numerous events this week already, so I'm a tad emotionally ravaged at the moment. Perfect time to make a couple of points. Read as if you're watching one of those cheesy Mastercard commercials:

• Fighting...sucks. It doesn't matter with whom or what the fight is about...it sucks.
• Having to watch a friend be treated as if she's a criminal...sucks.
• Talking out my feelings with my supervisor about that friend...sucks.
• Not getting enough sleep because my head continues to pound, as if someone is building a house or something up there...sucks.
• Having to stare at my computer screen while the house-building continues...sucks.

Not only getting thanks for a job well done at work, but also being RIDICULOUSLY BLESSED because of it...

FREAKING PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't give details, but the details really don't matter all that much...God has, once again, and in spite of my asinine behavior, reminded me of who HE is and what HE can do! Let's just put it this way...the last 6 months have now been worth it. God is so good...and COMPLETELY FAITHFUL. I love Jesus...

Psalm 13 - The Message
A David Psalm

1-2 Long enough, God— you've ignored me long enough. I've looked at the back of your head long enough. Long enough I've carried this ton of trouble, lived with a stomach full of pain. Long enough my arrogant enemies have looked down their noses at me. (This is how I've felt for so long...)

3-4 Take a good look at me, God, my God; I want to look life in the eye, so no enemy can get the best of me or laugh when I fall on my face. (This, along with a few more choice words, is what I've told God in the past week...)

5-6 I've thrown myself headlong into your arms— I'm celebrating your rescue (!!!!!!!). I'm singing at the top of my lungs - I'm so full of answered prayers!!!!! (emphasis mine...THIS is what I feel like RIGHT NOW!!!!!!)
