I'm living in New York City.
I live across from Macy's.
I go to college.
WHAT?!
I know it's completely crazy.
I love it here. My roommates are great, my house is great, my school is great, my professors are great, new york is great.
I have never been so homesick in my life. The last month has been better homesick wise than it was when I first moved in. However, even though it sucks, I'm really thankful for this feeling.
I have had to cling to the Lord like never before. I'm finally starting to make friends here, but the first month I was kind of lonely (*besides having my roommates etc).
It's amazing how the Lord answers your prayers.
I have seen, in the past three months, God bless me EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. in such obvious, tangible ways. I've realized that I have no room to complain because the Lord is providing.
In my Introduction to Old Testament Literature class we've been reading through Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers (et al) and it's hit me like never before How Much the Israelites Complained! EVERY DAY. No matter how YHWH provided they still found ways to be discontent and to complain! It's ridiculous.
I don't want to be an Israelite.
This is my goal every day: don't complain, the Lord provides. && Love Unconditionally.
