Letting go, but letting God.

It is funny how you think you might have things down pat, you even talk to a friend and say how you don't understand how people don't get it. How simple it seems to make a CHOICE, but it's not that way when you are the one having to make that choice.
This is what I don't get:(scattered thoughts so beware) I guess I just labeled myself. Things seem simple when looking at other people's lives. Basically judging them and telling myself how not capable they are. I repent for ever saying things like this Lord. Show me how to get this LOG out of my eye before I worry about that speck in anothers eye. All I need to be concerned about is me, but oh how hard this is, when you see things and hear things.
I need a change of heart I suppose. I need to "let go and let God" what a simple saying, but oh how hard it is to actually follow through. I like how I thought I gave it to Him. Thought I was on the path to recovery. Apparently not.
As a "sold out" Christian, you are probably going to go through life and get burned a couple times, alright maybe a lot of times. ha. It is just a matter of letting it go though. You might still have the scars when it is all said and done, but you will come out a better person. You might even be able to sow into someone elses life by sharing with them what you have been through. That is one thing to look forward to when going through the fire.
My life has become somewhat complacent, in the way I walk stuff out. I think I know what I should do and could tell anyone else how to overcome something and act like my life is peaches and cream. When the truth really is, I don't have anything together, I am not perfect, I can't help anyone b/c I can't even help myself. All I can do is pray, and yes, there is definately power in that. It's about the only weapon I got left.
I am in this place right now of desperation, exhaustion, and not to mention a little bitterness. BUT GOD is good. HE is all I need. HE is faithful when I am not. HE loves me even when I don't acknowledge Him daily. He is my all sufficient. He is my rock, my foundation that cannot be shaken. "He is all that I am not."

So lately my priorities have been majorly out of whack. I've been putting things that I enjoy doing like hanging out, having fun, and doing whatever it is that I want to do. However I don't think it is suppose to be that way. My life needs discipline, a discipline that will cause this to happen in my priorities: 1. God 2. My husband 3. Everything else and last thing on my list should be myself. I've been doing things to satisfy my flesh, what makes me "feel" good, and not paying much attention to the One who loves me more than anyone. He desires our attention, our everything. More of Him and less of me. ~John 3:30 I need to clean up my life. Or should I say surrender myself to Him so He can clean up my life? Yeah, that is the best way. I would just mess it up if I tried to do it. I am nothing without Christ being number one in my life. My only need is HIM, and Him alone. He will take care of everything else, I just need to back off and let Him take it all. I am ti...

LIFE

Life in general brings ups and downs, twists and turns--it's a roller coaster if you will. However the one and only thing that I have found to be so constant is my relationship with my Heavenly Father. He's always there in life's happy moments like finding out that you are pregnant, in life's not so happy moments like your cousin committing suicide, and in life's in between moments. He's there all the time, it's whether or not we choose to accept and acknowledge His presence. He's faithful when we couldn't be anymore faithless, He loves unconditionally while we are only loving back under certain conditions. He is speaking to us when we keep running farther and farther away. He is bringing conviction to our lives even though we don't want to change. He cares soo much about us--He knows every hair on our heads for pete's sake. :) I am so thankful that He is all these things. My life wouldn't be much of a life without Him in it. So, sorry if...

"We need to rely on the resurrection life of Jesus on a much deeper level than we do now. We should get in the habit of continually seeking His counsel on everything, instead of making our own commonsense decisions and then asking Him to bless them. He cannot bless them; it is not in His realm to do so, and those decisons are severed from reality. If we do something simply out of a sense of duty on the throne of our life, instead of enthroning the resurrection life of Jesus. We are not told to 'walk in the light' of our conscience or in the light of a sense of duty, but to 'walk in the light as He is in the light....' (1 John 1:7). When we do something out of a sense of duty, it is easy to explain the reasons for our actions to others. But when we do something out of obedience to the Lord, there can be no other explanation--just obedience. That is why a saint can be so easily ridiculed and misunderstood." ---Oswald Chambers This is not a time to be play...
