One of THOSE days

Have you ever had one of those days? Last week was one of those days… only longer. Presser. It was horrible. Stress. It came to an all time high. I can’t be everything for everyone. So I blew. Dave and I began to wonder if we have down the right thing moving up here. We had thought that this was God’s will for our lives but now we aren’t so sure. Thinking about it Dave could have very easily stepped into a new job. One that paid well and wouldn’t have had to move at all (even though I wanted a bigger place) we would have had no one else to worry about, no discussions about where things would go, and we would not have had to find a new church or explain why we are not going to my mother’s church. We have been feeling very isolated. Dave told me that he spoke to his mother more in North Carolina (465 miles away) than here in Pennsylvania (15 minutes away). Anyway all these feelings just kind of boiled over. Sunday we went to New Love in Christ Church and the Sunday school teacher began to read out of John 6 (can’t tell you the verses) I started to cry. Now that I reread John 6 I can’t tell you why but at the time it was like God was saying your doing the right thing. He never once said life would be easy. Never once did He say living in HIS will would be smooth. In fact, He (Jesus) promised the exact opposite.
John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."(NIV)
