This morning, I am feeling so thankful for my job as a waiter at Steak 'n Shake. Working there has been hard, but I am just so overwhelmed with gratitude to have a job! There are so many people without jobs---but I have one!
I've been making pretty good money each week... So, I should be doing pretty well financially as I move to Bible school in September. Thank-you, God!
This morning, I spent time reading about my position in Christ in "The Complete Green Letters." So encouraging!
I pray that Paul's prayer to the Ephesians will be a reality in my life today:
"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints," Ephesians 1:17-18
Gonna play piano and sing for a few minutes--- and then, off to work!

Romans 5:1-11
This passage has really been encouraging me in rememembering that God is my only hope--- and that the hope He offers is greater than can be imagined. It's totally worth rejoicing. :)
Romans 5:1-11-
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! 10For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
11Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
