Passage reading this morning...

I just want to record this one this morning...

I read James Chapter 5 this morning, and James 5:7-13 were the passages that hit home with me today. The passage is about patience and endurance. It also mentions Job as an example.

There are a few things in my life that require patience and endurance right now that promise a pay-out in the future.

Healing from trauma - This is going to the counselling. I don't like it but that's technically the solution.

Getting through my workdays - It's hard to do a job that isn't something you're passionate about, but I have to keep at it and do my job. That way I will get a good reputation as a hard worker and an effective worker and can move forward in life. Also if I'm busy at work, I won't be thinking about being frustrated.

Being consistent and patient with getting healthy - I don't think I need to explain this one here. :P

Not letting the fact that I don't have a lot of free time make me feel overwhelmed - This is just reality right now. I don't have a lot of free time. I need to accept that and not let it get me overwhelmed.

These are all just things I need to endure with patience, and know that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Okay I have to go to work... I'll blog again later today...

The story of Job is one of bad things happening to good people, yet having faith to persevere and see things through. Hang in there, this too will pass and may you find love and light in your heart!

Funny, but I was reading Job this morning. It always leaves me feeling rather challenged as I know I do not have the same faith, by any stretch of the imagination. What an example of being grateful for everything.

It's amazing how what jumps out at one person helps others to find their focus again! Thank you for posting this and reminding me that, as Philippians 4:13 says, I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. May God bless you always :)

I was thinking about James just this morning, actually! I have two Bible studies going right now, one in John and the other in James, and I really feel like they both speak to me on this journey toward being healthier and happier... We all go through terrible times of trials, but our faith arms and strengthens us into the warriors we were always meant to be.

Thanks for your post as I was getting frustrated with my healthy journey lately...Its nice to know there are other MFP members that apply scriptures to their journey. You are an encouragement. Thanks for being led by the Lord!

One of the things I like best about the New Testament is the life lessons. James is a really hard hitter. I didn't know we had such serious Christians on this site.
