The wind is howling outside. Rumor has it that it could turn cold this week. I haven't felt real good today so the fact that I can use 2 fingers to count the weeks until my surgery is probably a good thing. If I let myself think about it much I could probably panic which is funny when you consider that I spent a good part of the afternoon telling my friend that if she would just give her troubles to God she would see miracles happen. Easier said than done I guess.
She spoke about wanting to do everything right so that she would get the good things she wants. I understand that line of thinking. I used to live my life in that vice. "Do exactly what you think you are supposed to do and everything will be just fine" To this day I struggle with this. I used to be concerned with what people thought. I honestly thought that I was a lost cause so I didn't even consider trying to please God so I just worried about what other people thought. It has taken a long time but I now realize that what people think of me really doesn't matter. However, what God thinks about me is everything. The neat thing about God is He is not idealidtic at all. He knows I am flawed. He made me for goodness sake. He knows I am gonna screw up. He's known I was gonna screw up since before Adam and Eve screwed up because He knows everything. I guess my point is a simple 1. He has already seen the end product. The puzzle that is my life. The puzzle that is your life. He has seen it. He created it all. The Puzzle. The Solution. A bible verse comes to my mind at this point. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Good night God.
It's much easier to give good advice than it is to take it!! He played a part in creating you, but YOU need to fulfill his goal... he can't do this all on his own you know. Remember the guy who sat on the roof of the house waiting for God to save him!! :)
