Promises

Man, after the weekend that's just been I'm glad I'm a god botherer. Lets just say that I'm glad that I have the promises of God to stand on when life isn't fun. Promises like "The steps of a Good Man are ordered by the Lord" and my LifeVerse which is "All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purposes".

It's been the kind of weekend where you're left standing wondering why a whole lot of things happened. Why I had to meet a girl, fall hard for her, and have it all fall apart, to still have it kick me in the guts every time I see her. Why I got to achieve my dream of leading a production team making all the production needs of my church happen, to have it crumble to bits. Why it has to hurt and feel like running through treacle.

And then the foundation that I stand on tell me that it's pointless looking back, pointless to think why, but to think where to from here?

I guess without if things had worked out with me and this aforementioned girl, I wouldn't have had the guts and the impetus to apply to go back to uni and apply with the defence forces. Sure I can't see what the things I've been through are going to be used for but the promise is there, God doesn't say how but he'll use the things that have happened.

It's the promises that mean I can stand up face the new day. Thank God that He promises, also, that His mercies are new every morning!

Yeah, this one is very much a testimony as a faith builder, more for me than anything else. Thanks for the patience!
