I feel like I've been working my butt off for the past two years to try and be a better me for lack of better word. I mean, I began counseling and have stuck with it even though it feels like open heart surgery. My husband went mad and started threatening me to the point of me not being sure if he was capable of really doing physical damage to me. I held on for months of him not talking to me except to tell me he was divorcing me. I stayed in fellowship. I stayed in ministry. I got knocked down, sometimes really hard, and I kept getting up again. I confronted my father with the help of the Lord, and was disowned. I offered him forgiveness on his deathbed, prayed for, and sang over the very man who robbed me of my entire childhood. I gave him to the Lord and forgave him. I made the decision to remove him from life support. I planned and sang at his mormon funeral. I gave the benediction to my entire unbelieving family. I held onto my marriage until I felt the Lord release me. I do not say this to say it was all me. It was certainly by the power of God only that I was able to do this... I confronted my mother and lost my entire family when she badmouthed me to them all. I prayed for her even when she called me horrible names. I have worked continuously to do what the Lord has called me to. Is it too much to ask that someone is proud of me? I am dragging along trying to keep my eyes on Jesus who is the source of my faith. I am at least attempting to turn my eyes to him in every moment. I am speaking truth even when it hurts worse than the lie. I am believing God for things beyond what I can see. Is it too much for someone to say they're proud of me?
Sorry, for my rant... It's been a long day. I lost my job the other day and it ended not turning out the way I had been promised. My unemployment interview isn't for 2 1/2 weeks. I have less than $500, and my rent is $1,200. God will provide. I know He will.
