How many things do we all take for granted? Waking up in the morning? Always having food? A place to live? All our loved ones still living? Recently, I've read things, such as Kaydee's blog and Robin's blog (Amazing. Homeless project. July 14 and 15--read!!!) which emphasizes just some of the things I take for granted. Also, I just had a dream about losing someone I love (in this case, Jp), due to my actions of pushing away.
I say that God works in mysterious ways because He always reminds us of how powerful He is, especially when we try to show Him how powerful WE are. Face it, none of us are more powerful than God. Christ gives me the strength to face anything. (Philippians 4:13 CEV) The first word is also the key word: Christ. We get our strength through Him. In Jj's message a while ago, he said when life starts to become about us, that's when we have our problems. (I dont remember the exact words, sorry triple j) Lately, I think that's what I've been doing. Sadly, I haven't been putting God first, nor admiring Him for his power. God definitely reminded me of that tonight, in my dream, that He has the power to take anything away, so we better not take anything for granted.
