Weird nights...

I turn my computer off, put light music on, turn off the lights, lie in my bed, read today's Bible chapter, close my eyes, and try to sleep...

Throughout the night I hear the neighbours laughing, yelling, and talking to each other...

Sometimes I have to put a sock between the door-frame and the door to quiet down that annoying klap...klap...klap klap noise.

If I forget turning the thermostat off, then I suddenly wake up in the middle of the night due to the annoying drops of sweat all over my body. Sometimes, it even happens when it's off.

For every move I make, my bed looms with tearing appart and taking me all the way down over the computer, books, cd's, and everythings which lies below.

As if it were not enough, my subconscious comes up bringing all my deeper feelings into the screen of my dreams. It feels as if I'm living through them.

All of those inconveniences being tiny little disarrays of a peacul life and sleep can only mean one thing: the components of an abundantly blessed life.

I got neighbours the which scare the feeling of loneliness away...
I got a door that provides me the privacy which I need...
I got a thermostat that works warming up even the coldest nights...
I got a bed, where I can find a rest when the day comes to its end...
I got dreams, which let me know that I live a life full of loving beings...

I got God, the one who provides the joy and hapinness for the life I got...

That's me! 

Peculiar day

Well, this has been quite a day for me. God's really put my patience to the limit by putting all kind of unpleasant situations. I rode my bike to another town only to realize that it had been in vain. I was late at school despite the fact I thought there was lots of extra time. Nothing of real importance could be done at school since nothing worked properly, and so on. My day was filled with disappointments. Well, not everyday is a sunny day. The best part of it, is that quite unwillingly I took the rest of the day off and simply tried to keep my fumes down. It helped, I didn't do much and at the end of it all once my temper was back in place, my Schatje (darling) brought some smiles at the disclosure of it.
God knows how to deal with everyone personally, and honestly I gotta be thankful to Him. It wasn't the best of days, but have we got to be grateful only during the beautiful shining and sunny days?

Isn't He amazing?

Guess what. I was in terrible need of a job. I have almost empty pockets and my finances were brought all the way to the edge. Last year I was pretty much in the same situation. Well, I didn't know how to manage my expenses then. I was looking for a job and found nothing. I realized the the shortage of money was due to my lack of financial skills. A year had to pass by before I'd get the chance to give it one more try. This time it happened! Jehova Jireh knows my need and as the meaning of the name says, "God provides". Now the doors are opened and I finally got a job! Praise God!!!
He loves to keep me tangling in the line in order for me to trust fully on Him. This month has really been a proof of that. By having to pay the insurance, books, and the rent twice all my money was gone. But, before it drained, I got the chance to work for one day in order to keep things on balance. Now it's not only a day, but a long-term job! I simply amazes me the way He works. Having to trust him totally and never get disappointed, that's exactly what characterizes God.

New living style

It's been quite some time now. I'm on my new place and everything's set to start living the way it should be now. God has granted me so many blessings. I passed almost al exams and my new housemates are really cool people. Now the time has come to put all my effort into what's commanded for me to do. May God lead my way through every step I take. I love you Lord!
