I Need Thee

I Need Thee

Brittany is back to blogger again:)
I'm not even going to lie and put on a fake smile, it's been a rough past couple of weeks. Nothing has seemed to be going right. I came down with some sort of virus about a week and a half ago. I spent the day in bed and the next three days moping around with chest and stomach pains. I also had a bite on my arm that the nurse at work swore it was Staph infection. I made myself a doctors appointment to get myself checked out. I'm still not back to normal - but thank goodness it wasn't Staph.

Yesterday, was an absolute, not so very good day. Not at all. The day started at 5am. A resident passed out on me. Another pooped in the middle of the hallway. Two toilets overflowed. The coffee pot exploded on me. I spilled milk in the dining room. A resident reached for my hand - I grabbed it - he had a fist full of snot. Fish was for lunch (I hate fish).
After my exhausting day, I was driving to my dentist appointment, and I had a wreck. Awesome. What a day I'm having.

After everything with the wreck got cleared away, I went home and crashed. I woke up in time to get ready for church.

The Lighthouse Church has started revival with Bro. Michael Brown from Fresno, CA. Last night was the first night and oh it was so good! Bro. Brown had Bro. Morrell sing at altar call:

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;Every hour I need Thee;Oh, bless me now, my Savior,I come to Thee.Oh, how true this is. I began to think about all my complaining. All my moaning and groaning. Oh, how I need Thee. Even in the bad days, even in the good days, I need Thee. While we sang about this song, I thought about people who don't know Jesus; people who don't have a relationship with Him. Who do they go to in time of trouble? Where do they go? Who do they lean upon? I have Him to go to on the bad days. I have Him to talk to and Him to take care of me. You know...even though I sometimes don't have days when everything goes perfect, I still have Him to go to. I still have my Jesus to live for. Those are the best kind of days. I'd rather have a bad day living for Him than a good day living for the world. My Jesus, I need Thee.Bro. Chris Bracken told our church one time that he "believes it is a sin to complain". What do true Christians have to complain about? This has come to mind so many times in the past few weeks. I have nothing to complain about. Absolutely nothing at all. In the midst of it all, I need Thee.I've decided that I'm going to be thankful for all God has blessed me with. At least I have a job right? At least I still have a car. I'm so thankful that God chose me to live for Him.Enough rambling for now.Tomorrow, I am going to be thankful:)- Brittany
