Job

well... i just got off of work, so i think i'll blog now.

my tuesdays and thursdays are crazy! i get to work by 7:30... work until 4... and then head to baton rouge for my night class by 4:45 or so... class starts at 6 and we go until a bit before 9. THAT is a long day. i usually don't see charlie on tuesdays and thursdays until i get home at night between 9 and 9:30. yep.

so today started my second verse for the month and i LOVE it:

“Think of how we regard as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job’s endurance and you have seen the Lord’s purpose, that the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.” James 5:11 the NET

what a great reminder! Job's circumstances were crappy. but we get the see the whole story... we know the ending to his saga. we can see through everything that he went through and everything that went on behind the scenes that the Lord's purposes were {are} good... that He is full of compassion and mercy. i love that reminder. no matter what we're presently going through... no matter how difficult or meaningless it seems... we have seen the Lord's purpose... that He is full of compassion and mercy.

i am also taking the ides of march month-long-blogging challenge :) so i will see you tomorrow, dear blog!
