Right isn't always cheap

The last few days have been torture for me.

It's not that serious, really. I'm just moving. And I've moved so many times that my family and I could easily operate a professional moving business, so it's not like I'm new at this. It's just hard living out of two places when neither one of them feels quite like home.

Anyway, I'm moving.

I have been so frustrated with all that goes into moving--the finances, the physical labor, the chaos that becomes your life when you box up everything you own...

The other day, I actually thought to myself "it would be so much easier if I hadn't even taken this job."

Those of you who know me know how big of a deal that is. I hated my last job's guts. I hated it so much that I would sit at work and apply for jobs all day long. I was openly unhappy with what I did, and while I was ready to take just about anything that would get me out of that place, all I really wanted to do was become a staff writer.

My wish came true, and before I knew it, I was wishing it away.

I love my job as a reporter, I really do. I even like the town that I'm living in. But still, it doesn't change the fact that I'm going to have highs and lows. In fact, the more you have to lose in life, the more stress, anxiety, and frustration you feel, or at least that's been my experiences.

It has really brought me back to the realization that God knows me better than I know me.

Sunday night at church, I was honestly on top of the world. I witnessed over 100 people get saved. I heard God's promises get preached and USED. I was challenged spiritually, and I was pumped about getting closer to Christ.

It's amazing what 3 days can do to your spirit though.

It's only Wednesday, and this morning, I felt weighed down by the struggles of this life.

I got on facebook a while ago, and a friend had posted Psalm 15:4 : "Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the LORD, and keep their promises even when it hurts."

In other words, do the right thing, even when it isn't in your benefit.

I won't go into all the ways that applied to what's going on with me personally. I'll just say this: if you're a Christian, you made a promise to follow Christ. How would Christ handle what's going on in your life right now?

...do the right thing, even when it costs you.

Happy Wednesday, folks. Work week's almost over! :)
