This summer is going by pretty quickly. And I'm glad.
God has really been speaking to my heart lately.. about several things.
First, I wish I had the verse to make the remarks following more valid. But God reminded me the other morning that He does not need any help doing His job. I spend so much time evaluating situations and who is right and who is wrong. That is not my job. He tells us that He is a just God. He alone is capable. So I need to give up trying to control situations with friends or co-workers that were never in my hands to begin with. I should just smile, forgive, and move on. God will deal with that person. What an awesome God that wants to ease my mind of these things.
And I owe this "ah-ha" moment to Deacon Joe. Jesus is not my "buddy." I owe Him an insurmountable (sp?) amount of respect and should never feel that my time with the Lord is "buddy" time. Sometimes it is easy to do this when you are telling God about how you feel about some situations and people. This can happen when I'm just telling Him about my day. But, the Lord humbles me so much by reminding me of His infinite power. So I just kneel before Him and simply say "WoW."
Today was a beautiful day. Despite how crazy hot it is.
I saw 'War of the Worlds' today with my stepdad and it was pretty intense. My heart was racing through the entire movie. I recommend it! But not if you have a heart condition. Please consult your physician first.
Adios.
