Week of Grievances

I work on all the things needed for our vacation in Seattle, Washington today, like the dog boarding for our dog and the confirmation from my cousin. We are now ready to have a vacation with our relatives in Seattle on the first week of September, to attend my cousin's wedding. My kids will just miss about the first two days of school. I can't wait.

Anyway, I have a quite peaceful night at work but few annoying moments with some people. Ahhhh, I really have to prepare everything in our life so I can leave this place sooner than I have to. I dont know how and when but I what to change my freaking life from this kind of environment. It is just too annoying. I may have a good monthly salary, but my life in return is full of grievances. Every Sunday afternoon before I go to bed, I have to prepare myself to capture some sins for hating some people. It maybe easy to say to just pray for some guidance from God, but as soon as the week ends, I feel like my soul is already overflowing with sins.

Saturday will arrive, and I feel that all the sins I had for the whole week were cleansed by all the prayers from my fellow CFFL brothers and sisters, by sharing God's words and love. I am starting to feel and realized the real essense of attending this religious community. I can feel love, peace and respect from people who are always there to share the love of God. My heart is still full of hopes and dreams to work at home someday. Perhaps this will be the way, to give more time to serve the community.

Hi Tey,
You are now exactly in the perfect place where God wants you to be. You see a Christian life is one of overcoming temptations and trials in life. Learn to live with what you have now and situations will change as soon as you learn the lessons God is teaching you now. Just hold on to God's wonderful promises when He said, "in this world you will have troubles, but take heart for I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2a). I will pray for you that God will give you sufficient grace for you to overcome all your troubles. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.
