To Live is Christ
I still haven't figured things out yet, but I don't feel like I have to right now. What I have to do is be content and learn to be satisfied because everything is perfect in God's timing. To be in God's will for my life means trusting Him because whatever decision I make He's going to be walking with me, so I just have to remember that. Keeping that in the front of my mind is what's really helped me since me last blog or should I say little rant where I freaked out??Anyway, there's always going to be something in my way and those are things I need to be allowing God to help me with. I always try to do stuff on my own and as you all probably know... it NEVER works. I'm just starting this amazing bible study by Beth Moore (Ladies, if you don't know her, you need to). It's about the life and ministry of Paul and what it means to live as Christ and of course, it just great. Beth is a southern girl (Baptist, which is sometimes hard to swallow, but well worth it), but she has a heart for God and serving others. I highly recommend all of her books and bible studies. They are very intense and take some time, but they're good. So there's a little plug for that.
What I think I'm getting at (in a round-about way) is that God always finds a way into your situations, even if you don't want to let Him. He's going to allow you to be stressed and impatient, to get angry and be frustrated because the moment you come to Him for help He is glorified. Making any sense? Once again this is obvious stuff and I knew it before, but it's being revealed in a new way. God is faithful.
So anyway, this isn't to say that life is perfect and that I'm not frustrated or angry, but remembering this has for sure been a help. I am always going to have things and certain people in my life that frustrate me, make me mad, and stress me out because we're human and we live in an imperfect world, so it's to be expected.
Just one thing, really quick, I promise. Don't be fake. Don't think that you are being sneaky when it's obvious you have impure motives. Don't act high and mighty or holier-than-thou because I can see right through it and so can everyone else. There's nothing worse than a self-righteous person. Strive to actually be Christ-like and stop pretending. People will always be able to call you out.
