Job: A Great Example

Image
By Annie

Sat down after a long day to just relax and read Job 1-2.
Job is a great example of what faith and reverance towards God should look like. Despite having all taken away from him, he still bows to the Lord and declares his greatness.
Naked I have come in my mother's womb, and naked shall I depart. The Lord gave and the Lord had taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised."
And even when his wife speaks badly of God, he continues to fear God.

This leads to the question I have to myself.
How would I react if I had everything taken from me? If someone was there speaking against God, would I nod and say the same? I still seem to lack a lot of faith and that really needs to change.

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.
