How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Look on me and answer, O Lord my God
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for he has been good to me.
Refuse to be defeated...

Heartstrings
God uses everything for his glory. Even weaknesses.
People are collectively one of the top priorities, yet biggest stressors in my life. I think God made it that way so that I have to humbly ask for his guidance and intervention in this area, instead of feeding my love-idolatry pride if dealing with people came easily to me. Heart motives anyone? I kind of forgot about that until I was thinking about this idea.

Sunday morning
Faith is not conjuring up, through an act of your will, a sense of certainty that something is going to happen. No, it is recognizing God's promise as an actual fact, believing it is true, rejoicing in the knowledge of that truth, and then simply resting because God said it.
-May 1 entry of Streams in the DesertDid not make it to church today, and instead did a short devotional. I tend to do the former than the latter when I seek faith, because it is so hard to just let go of control and let God work in me. I like the phrase "actual fact". God's promise is an actual fact, just like we breathe in O2 molecules, or 2+2=4.
Histo all day! :( Ok, so tooth development is pretty crazy to learn about.. but even still, I can't wait until this class is officially over tomorrow!
