so at church yesterday we started a new series called "my life". which i really didn't know what to expect...but i was excited to hear it. man.....i so needed to hear that yesterday. as humans we all have these plans we want to do to accomplish by this time or that time. we need to do this. we have to do that. but yet when we don't get there we get upset, we get mad, we get bitter, we get lost, we get off on the road and get lost. For me...that has been me for the past two years or so. i thought life was going this way...yet it went totally the other way. i had to learn to adapt to what was going on around me, and just try and figure things out, which way to i go? up, down, right, left? i was so scared to make a wrong choice, go the wrong way. have you ever felt like you were living life going the wrong way on a one way street? yes! that is me...where am i? how did i get here? why did i get here? yet it is my life and my life is not my own. My life is HIS. HIS timing. we as Christians are so wanting to do this now, when it is good for us, we don't look at our life as HIS life...we get so caught up in, "my life should have already been this", or" i should have already done this". Like myself we get caught up in our own detours....we get down in the dumps...why? why? why? why?....that is all we want to know...we want to know all the answers...but that is what i love about MY GOD...he teaches us great things while we are wanting to find out all the answers. we will one day know why, we will one day understand all the answers. all we have to do is sit back and listen for God, to direct our path...he will bring the right people into our life, he will bring the right job, he will open all he doors...all we have to do is wait...pray...live our life for him...and he will make things so clear. my life...is HIS life...
ACTS 20 :24
24However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
