So, after going back and reading my last post, I sure did sound pretty whiny. Lol... promise to sound a little more upbeat this time. God has been teaching me a few things over the last few months, and so here they are.
1) It doesn't really matter what plans or dreams I have for myself. God is going to get His way with me. I can fight it all I want, but in the end it's just going to make me unhappy. And God want's me to find joy and peace in Him. And rest in Him, knowing that He is going to give me all that I need. I knew these things in my head, but not in my heart.
2) God is always going to win. It really does not matter how I feel about different people or situations in my life. He has already won. And that's enough.
3) All of Him, is more than enough for me. Being a Christian is a process. It takes time to learn and grow. To change into what God want's me to be. I didn't just wake up one day and become an adult. It took lots of time for that to happen. It's the same for being a Christian.
4)God loves me all the time. No matter what. Even when I am stupid and petty and ridiculous, He accepts me and love's me. He knows my heart in all matters. This gives me peace.
5) There is nothing in the world that can ever take away all pain and suffering. It is through these times that God shows me who He is, where He wants me to go, and who He want's me to be.
God is so marvelous, amazing, indescribable, uncontainable,awesome, powerful, loving caring wonderful, incredible, merciful... there are just not enough word's to describe a God that has made all of creation from the breath that comes from Him. I am so thankful to know this God. So grateful to be filled with the wonder of loving Him, and to be loved by Him in return for all that I am. And all that I am not.
