I'm told I should ask for wisdom...

If you read Proverbs in the Bible, there is a lot of talk about wisdom...what you should to do to gain it...why you should seek it...why you should ask for it.  Well.  I believe that now is one of those times.  

There are a few difficult situations in my life right now and the lives of some people that I'm closest to that I can't quite seem to get a good grasp of.

I'm finding myself wishing either life was easier or that I would have the wisdom to know what to do...what to say. 

When I try to change these situations...or when I try to help...it seems like things get worse.  Maybe I should just let things be for now...even though they can't stay the same forever.  None of this really makes any sense unless you're me...but thanks for reading this, nonetheless. 


Anywho...on a different note and a somewhat dreary one...I had my first weigh in today...I only lost 0.4 lbs.  This is disappointing...especially since the last time I did weight watchers I lost 5.8 lbs the first week.  I'm not really sure if or what I did wrong, but this week I am adding in workouts to my new healthy endeavor and hopefully it will help.  


So....if you're reading this...I could use some prayers...while my issues really aren't that dire or serious...I'm feeling so unsure of so many things right now so prayers would be appreciated.

  1. Praying for God to give you strength and the ability to deal with the issues that are giving you stress right now. Great job on the loss! Every little bit adds up quicker that you think! It seems like in the summer months, one week I'm up and one week I'm down. Either I'm sweating it all out one week, or retaining fluid the next. Summer is not always kind to me. I really have to watch the sodium in the summer to keep from blowing up like a balloon.

  2. Praying for you Lindsay... I know God will be faithful to give you the wisdom you need.

    "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." James 1:5

  3. Hey as always nothing in life is easy and though there are times when i am asking myself is life going to get any easier or when will it just be over? Sometimes we get so discouraged by the wickedness of this world that we want to give up because we are give out. However, we need to also remember that Satan uses those tactics to make us weak and so we MUST rely on God to deliver us through trials. Proverbs is a very encouraging book, one of my favs is Proverbs 3:5,6... keep your head up girlie :)
