It's funny how you spend life thinking that you are perfect and that nobody could ever possibly be annoyed with anything about you. Reality has hit me and I have discovered through my roommates that I am a loud person, especially at 8:00 am when everyone else is asleep and I am grinding my coffee beans (I like my freshly ground coffee). My roommate kindly mentioned to me that others are sleeping so maybe I could grind my coffee the night before. Done.
Today I volunteered at the speech lab during the afternoon. It is really a cool experience having a client and helping them learn how to speak. It is sad to see these people come in who cannot communicate. These people are intelligent, they have degrees, they have been in the military, they have families, and they want to speak. I sat with my client while she worked on the computer. It is interesting to watch these people not be able to form speech, yet they are intelligent, and they know what they are trying to say. The lady I was helping today was looking at the sentence, "The cat is small" yet kept saying, "The boy is brown." God has really provided this opportunity for me to sew into these people's lives. My classes this semester all correlate with what I am doing in the speech lab. Speaking of classes, I got a 100 on my Phonetics quiz. I have had to mentally make the decision to like the class. It is not easy, but I am determined that I am going to get through it.
I have a hard time trusting that God knows what I need more than I do. At Bible study tonight we were talking about how the world tells us to "follow our hearts," yet the Bible tells us that "The heart is deceitful above all things, who can know it?" -Jeremiah 17:9. Thus, my desire is that I can trust God and give Him my desires and wants. I constantly recite to myself, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." The Bible tells us that we shouldn't want. We should be grateful for what the Lord provides for us. The Lord will lead us in the direction we should go. I am so comforted to know that Jesus has my back. He is my Shepherd, my friend.
p.s. continue to pray for "Julie"- she just texted me about meeting up
