While Teeth-Whitening

So... the title makes sense... I promise...
It's because I have whitening trays in right now, for my sister's wedding in a week and a half... wow... that's close.

It is a strange thing to have our Father reveal sin before my eyes, and feel like I ought to do something about it, yet in truth He will produce that very godliness in me. Can't be a legalist with a God like Him. I often make law for myself and yet He breaks it down, shows me how I am sinful, so that I may see that "it is [He], the Lord, who sanctif[ies]". I feel like I'm reliving the entire book of Romans (eh... up through chapter eleven) all over again. I've felt that way many times.

I think one great benefit of journals and blogs is so that, when you hit a hard spot, you can look back at your journal/blog and see how you hit the EXACT SAME hard spot before, and you worried and were anxious just the same, were scared just the same, were prideful just the same, were ashamed just the same, and yet were saved just the same.

He always comes through and we always forget it. He always saves and we turn. Yet a day will come and is coming when His might will overpower our sinful frailty, and we will be wrought holy in His sight for the sake of His glory. We do nothing, He does everything. Story of our lives.

Ha. Anyways. Back to work this week. Last week was vacation. Hiked beneath Mt. Rainier (beautiful), Dentist appointment (bleh), got to see Rebecca (gorgeous), got to help Jocelyn and David (my sister and her fiancee) move into their apartment (pretty cool to see), hung with Mac (pretty sweet), jammed with the band twice (awesome). Good week. It's tough to be back to work. Tiring. Headaches. Headaches that don't go away with two tylenol, three apsirin, and boiling water steaming my face. Bleh.

But God is good and will come through. Hmm. I bet if I checked my journal I've been exactly here before.

Hmm. ;)
