You know, so often I realize that I'm so quik to complain, or think pessimistically. Believing and resigning myself to hopeless situations, and dedicating my thinking about the worst. I always say the most drama in our lives is caused by ourselves. Wheather it is spuring situations on with explosive outsomes, or just exadurating things in our heads, the ol' making mountains out of mole hills. I honestly think that the human race is a bored one, and we constantly feel the need to deal with something. So I've been through things, and I've had some pretty stressful situations and frustrating circumstances.
But in all of this I've never been left not knowing where I was going next. God has always made it clear where I am to go, who I am to be to whom, and what I am to do.
I have never found myself in a situation where I did not know who I was, or did not know what to do with myself, I know very well how to react, sometimes I just pretend like I don't know better. But I know who I am, I am the Lords. And even tho I haven't been steadfast in keeping that every move and impression I make should be for the glory of God, but I've been aware of it, and I've been seeking God on it. That I would learn to love rightiousness like He loves rightiousness and hate wickedness as He does. While filling me with his abounding love for HIS children seeing people through HIS eyes, the way he sees them. Giving me faith that the Lord is capable of doing everything and exceedingly more that I could ask or hope for in life.
And I've never been alone. The Lord is so faithful in not only always being there for me and showing up at those times when I need Him but I'm not exactly looking for him, but in always making sure I am surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, supporters and prayer partners.
There's so much I tell people that I don't have. But there is so much that I do have that I could have never dreamed of asking for.
