bad week or pure joy?
Tuesday was an interesting day to say the least. It started off really well. I finished all of my internship junk and went down to Indy to check out Steph's new place, but it was downhill from there. I injured myself pretty badly and had to make a trip to the ER, which is like my least favorite place. I've spent way too much time in hospitals in my lifetime. After I got hurt, I was informed that my best friend was in a car accident at about the same time that I got hurt. She's fine, but her car isn't.It's a bad week for all of this to be happening, not that there is ever a good time to be hurt. I have a lot I need to do before my parents get here Friday, but because it hurts to move, everything is going to be ten times harder. I want their visit to be really special so I'm going to the store to buy all the stuff they like and I really want the place to be spotless. They won't care if my bed isn't made, but I will. I want them to know how good I'm really doing on my own. Being hurt makes it hard to do anything.
BUT God is good and His hand has been in everything that's been happening. I could be in a worse position and my friend could have gotten really hurt, but He protected us. It's great to have a God that is faithful even when I'm wrapped up in myself. Again, this is nothing new, just something I love being reminded of.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4
It is pure joy. Thrive in it.
