Current Feelings

So, lately I've been reading through Psalms and some verses have been really sticking out. This one hit me tonight. It pretty much explains the entire school year so far and just the way things have been going.

Take my side, God—I'm getting kicked around, stomped on every day.
Not a day goes by
but somebody beats me up;
They make it their duty
to beat me up.
Psalm 56:1

As usual, people in general need lots of prayer support and friendship and for some reason both seem to be lacking this year. I have to keep remembering that there is a reason for all the hardships we go through (even our month plus with no hot water). There just seems to be a lack of community for younger married couples in our church and our school. It's really difficult to now be viewed differently because you've gotten married. Two years ago when I came to Korea there were a decent number of couples in the school which made for a great support system around them. We don't get that at school because there really isn't anyone else. The one other newly wed couple I think is feeling similar effects to getting married too. It just makes for a difficult time.

I'm not sure how to put that any better, but when I read verses like the one that I listed I definitely feel like that's me. Right now I'm just heavy burdened, don't really have any network to share it in, and am in some severe need for prayer.
