It's a God entry :-D
It's all about God:
Over Christmas break I read a book called "When God Writes Your Love Story". It very quickly become my favorite book. Basically the title explains the entire book. Well, since I've read this book I've looked at things from such a different perspective! It really helped me see that there is so much more out there than what I can see. God has this incredible plan for my life, and not just in the area of love, but in every aspect. My personal goal for this year was to do my best to let God take over my life and let Him lead me where He wants me to go, not where I want to go. But as I was sitting at a devo tonight I realized that I've been really bad about trusting God lately. I mean, I"ve said "I'm gonna trust You God" and I've thought I was trusting Him, but looking back I totally wasn't. I keep complaining about how things are working out right now with me and a friend, I've felt like I have no purpose because I wasn't sure yet what it was and because my life isn't all planned out. But I realized tonight that just saying "God I'm going to trust You" isn't enough, I have to prove that I want him to lead my life according to His plan. I have to truly give my burdens to God and fully trust in Him, without doubting.
One of my biggest goals right now is to serve instead of being selfish and constantly wanting things. Hopefully I'll be successful in this goal, because I know I'll get a lot more out of life and be a lot happier if I can have the heart of a servant and just trust God to show me happiness through it all.
I'm not saying all that to sound preachy, even though I might come across that way. But journals are for the purpose of sharing what is on your heart and going through your mind, so there you have it :-)
Anyway, I guess tonight I want to pose a question to y'all. It's on that Dolly (a member of my social club) posed to us and said she asks random strangers even. So I'm gonna post it and I want you to really think about it (every day even?) and give me some responses!! The question is:
In what ways has God blessed your life?
Even through the bad times good can shine through :-) Let me know about all the good you've seen that God has given you :-D
