Thursday, Mar. 25, 2004 - 1:22 p.m. "when peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll... whatever my lot, though has taught me to say: it is well, it is well with my soul..." I have had to teach myself that what ever sercumstances may come my way that the Lord is in control and it (those "things") is well with my soul. The last few months of my life have not been easy to swallow... < He gave me a church in my darkest hour of need-- litterally right before I was about to give up. I know it was the right church cause God new my needs and desires for a church and has met them all! He has given me a job-- though I hate it at times (like everyone experiences)-- it is a job I know I cant live with out right now. And I am not talking about money. These two things he has given me and I am thankful and no matter what tough situation that comes my way I see Gods hands on it and I know that he is with me all the way and I can tell myself "it is well with my soul". But the only thing that God has allowed to come into my life, that I am so confused about right now, has been the hardest for me to accept. I felt like he gave me the man of my prayers and my dreams! But the past month has made me doubt and made me confused. I want to know if I am hearing God right. I want to hold on to what I thought God told me but every situation around me right now SCREAMS the opposite. Lord, your teaching me something and I am not sure what it is... so Lord, in this lesson please teach me to know that this too is well with my soul. "For I know the plan I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future!" Jer. 29:11. I want a faith like Moses.
