Hope.

It hasn't been a bad day.
Actually, the last week or two has been pretty good. 

But I'm frustrated, and I can't help it. 

I'm tired always being "the friend," and never anything more. I'm tired of watching my friends go on dates and my love life continues on this path of nothing. I'm tired of working out like crazy - for the last seven months - and feeling like nothing has come of it. I'm tired of not having a work-out partner. I'm tired of fighting over nothing with one of my best guy friends. I'm tired of going to two pointless jobs, where I do nothing productive. I'm tired of never being able to sleep in. I'm tired of having a suitemate who won't even look at me. I'm tired of feeling like the bad child in my family. I'm tired of fighting with my sister. I'm tired of always having something to do or finish. I'm tired of being the joke. I'm tired of being beat up about my diabetes. 

I'm not tired of God, and the hope He gives me. The list above isn't ruining my happiness, because of one reason.... 

"But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." -- Isaiah 40:31

  1. I love that verse. :)
    and this one: "You will keep in perfect peace the mind that is dependent on You, for it is trusting in You" - Isaiah 26:3

    I'm pretty sure Isaiah is the greatest book in the bible. If not that, at least the most encouraging. :)
