God, grant me patience

I feel on the verge of a melt-down from issues that aren't even my own. A dear friend of mine has been struggling with boy-related issues for almost a year now. I've been there... and been there... and been there for her - but I'm tired. I'm worn out. I know what my mom felt like. She finally told me after months and years of her watching me cry my eyes out that she wouldn't be there if I wanted to pursue Devin yet again. I pray that God would give me patience. To continue to be there even though I'm worn and exhausted. I pray that I would be able to be there for her through everything, and not turn my back. Having gotten that off of my chest, I am thankful today that I slept in a little bit. I'm thankful that Josh feels like he did well on his mid-term. I'm thankful that I get to go home in a couple days and give my mom and dad a huge hug. I miss my parents. I miss Josh's parents. I miss Matt and Amanda and Kara. I even miss Izzy! I'm so incredibly thankful that we have the opportunity to go home for an extended period of time before I start working. But, I'm also so very thankful that Josh and I will have a steady income that is far above what we had been earning before. I pray that we would have wisdom to give back to God what he has provided for us.. in good times, and in bad. Amen

Love, Sara
