I've been kind of irritable lately and am not sure why. I'm living in college apartments and little things (like noise or lights being left on) are really ticking me off. It isn't a non-stop party or anything like that, but the bass coming through the walls is just loud enough for me to be annoyed with it (but not quite loud enough that it can be heard outside of my downstair's neighbor's apartment) and it happens every night until midnight on the dot. I'm going to speak with the property manager about it tomorrow. I'm also annoyed because I wanted to complete school this school year, but I'm going to have to take an additional class in fall 2009 (long story). I also started a part-time job that I thought would give me enough hours to live off of, but instead, I've been getting a paltry 4 hours a week. (Yes, I said 4.) I'm not getting a chance to do what I was hired to do for various reasons. I also just heard from someone that I know - who doesn't work there - about how employees have been dismissed without warning (I've seen this happen.) Financially I'll be ok for a while - God has just blessed me tremendously and definitely will not starve or be homeless or anything even if I didn't find another job for a while - but I still need a job and I'm still dragging my feet about starting my own writing business (although I did make a little progress yesterday). I'm also still having a hard time finding a church, although I'm getting closer and there are a couple that are quite nice. I did commit to a house ministry only to find that there was a lot going on behind the scenes - lots of confusion, some outright sin, and heaps of gossip (I stay clear of those things so I didn't know all of these things were happening until they'd reached a crisis point), which was dissappointing. So the ministry has gone on hiatus for a while. I feel for the leaders and the baby christians. But it made me second guess my own judgement and ability to hear from the Lord.
I'm at a place where I have a vision and I'm moving forward in some respects (I got great news today - I will be able to do some video work, which was unexpected), but at the same time, I'm at a stand-still and am not sure about how to proceed in other areas (does that make sense)?
Anyway, I know that what I've written about is so small compared to what most others are going through, but if you feel led, I'd appreciate it if you'd keep me lifted up in prayer. Mostly, I'm just trying to hear from God on these issues and that the Lord help me to have a nice sweet attitude when I interact with my neighbors. I've never been one to yell or be rude and I'm generally sweet, but I've been feeling so irritable lately and I don't want to take it out on anyone else. I don't want to harbor these little petty upsets in my heart - and I feel like I'm doing that. Anyway - thanks a lot!
