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.

no prob, MRS, you got it close enough. I don't remember the exact wording either, but you were "spot on" on the thought. I'm thinking about working on a blog about trust, cause that is something we just ridiculously mess up. We find it easy to trust those who are untrustworthy, and yet the people that deserve out trust, we hold out on. I don't get it. But we all do it.
Im not sure where to even start. God always does thing to blow our minds. Good example go out side tonight and look up. But still sometimes we think we can do it all on our own. Us Crazy humans thinking we can me a god. I think its really awesome to see him working despite all the trash we see around us. Babe ill be praying for you.
Love You J.p.
I definitely have some problems with giving God control of my life. But it's true, he is so powerful, so amazing, so GOOD, that giving him total control of our lives is the smartest thing we can do, really. (Though for some reason, knowing that fact doesn't make it much easier...) I definitely need to grow in that area too. Good post. ♥
