“Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.” -Matthew Henry

"Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!"
Job. One of my favorite books of the Bible. Job. A man who KNEW hard time, and yet his faith was unshakable. I wish I had a pinch of that faith. This week I have seriously considered listening to the not so wise advice of Job's wife. I extremely am homesick, I have been in major pain, and I just don't want to be at school any longer; not to mention I just am tired of people that just want to run their mouths and put others down. I guess I just wanted a big pity party. As I was winning to God, I started to recall Job's story. He had it way worse than I probably ever will, and yet his faith never moved. I can't say that. I was ready to give in, to completely step out of a plan God made very clear to me just because "I" am not completely happy-go-lucky. While I am still homesick, and all those other things, I am determined to seek the Lord for contentment. I want to hold strong to my "integrity" and "Praise God and Live!!!"
