dear friends, i need your prayers...

When I was younger, my mom owned a nail salon. She did nails for 16 years, and she loved it too. During my freshman year in high school though, things changed. Stuff happened, and we had to make some adjustments. She was forced to quit her job, so she decided to start over and try something completely different. That's when she picked up insurance, and she's been doing that the past couple of years, but then.. She told me the other day that she wants to go back to doing nails... in Korea. She wants to leave the US and do nails all the way over there. She said that she had always been miserable doing insurance, and she feels like it would be such a waste to throw away everything she's ever learned about nails. So she quit last week. Right now, she is working part-time making sales calls from home. My brother and I are both quite upset by this recent career move... she tends to not make the smartest choices every now and then, and this is probably one of the most important decisions that she's ever made. I'm very worried about what will happen.

Also, my mom has been very sick the past month or so. That's why she's going to Korea in a couple of weeks, on the 29th. She is going to get a check-up there, because we can't really afford to go to the hospital here. While she's there, she's also going to try to find out what she's going to do with her new found calling back to nails.

So please pray for my family... pray for my mother's career, that she may be able to find a steady job and settle down. We have had constant financial hardships in the past four-five years, and right now it's absolutely crucial that my mom finds a good job. Also please pray for her health... please pray that nothing is seriously wrong.

Of course... I thought it had been way too calm. Of course, I've learned that my life has always been full of storms, and will always continue to be. It's been a couple of months since I faced a trial of significant size, so of course it's about time for another one. God, you've made me go through so much... why? What are you preparing me for? What am I going to go through in the future that I have to emotionally, mentally, and spiritually prepare for it this much? Because honestly, I'm not sure I can take much more than this.

You dance over me while I am unaware
You sing all around
But I never hear the sound

Lord, I am amazed by You
How You love me

You paint the morning sky with miracles and lines
My hope will always stand
You hold me in Your hand

Lord, I am amazed by You
How You love me

God........ I'm trusting in You.
