| and again he proves He is always in control. every time i try and take control is exactly when things seem to get difficult... i know... duh! but it's so much easier said than done. faith is amazing but also can be so hard to grasp at times. however, He never does leave our side. i can't even fathom that. no matter how badly we hurt our amazing creator he never ceases to love us or be there for us.
in my devotions today i read this...
"our God is present. He comes to set things right. in His very name is rescue. this is who He is. there is not a moment in human hisrtory that has eluded His gaze. there is not a second in your life that He was not around. He is unavoidable. He is indescapable. He is inevitable and undeniable. He is."
all's i have to say is. w o w. |

| letting go of something is so much easier said that done. it's so hard when you want something so bad and yet you are not sure how to just back away for awhile. grrrrrr. i suck at pretending. and i hate it to. because pretending is basically like lying. it's not being who you really are but at the same time the reason you are "pretending" is for a good reason. to make things better.
ugh.
i am almost always open about how i feel. especially with the people that mean the most to me. but sometimes i don't want to be open because i don't want to cause the confusion and pain that sometimes comes with honesty. it's so much less work to just ignore the confrontation. but then again... is it worth it because the whole idea is eating me up inside?
wouldn't it be wonderful if doing the "right" thing was the "easy" thing... |

| Jesus you have carried me
when i could not stand
Jesus you have carried me
it's all been part of your plan
Jesus you have carried me
it's your footprints in the sand
Jesus you have carried me
it was always in your hands...

| why is it so easy to take advantage of God's amazing grace? he gives us everything and yet we still fail to devote our lives entirely to him. i want to find God in everything that i do. i don't want to find him in the convenient places of church, my devotions, a worship cd, conventions... i want to see him all around me. i want to make praise a habit. thanking him for the cold wind because he has given me the ability to feel, for the last parking spot in the lot because he has given me the ability to walk, for the mean person at the dmv that i was in return blessing them with God's love by not being rude in return but speaking kind words and thanking them for their time... these are the things i want to learn to find praise in. it's so easy to lose focus. so easy to let the world get you down.
God, please make praising you a habit... |
