Contemplating some things
Well today's service was so so so good. It made me think... What do I really want and expect in this year? Bekki and I were talking about commitments and committing. It seems like we let go of the things that should mean the most to us. I know that I have made a resolution to read the Bible through this year, but I didn't really COMMIT to anything else. Why is it that the MOMENT you make a decision to do something your flesh IMMEDIATELY tries to fight against you? When you say to yourself "I should fast" you become hungry! LOL That happens to me all the time! But I forget what is most important in life sometimes, my walk with God and my family. Other than that... What do I have to lose? Friends? Sure, I need those and I absolutely appreciate the ones that I do have, but where would I be without God? I wouldn't even have those same friends if it weren't for the intervention of God. He put us in each other's paths for a purpose and I am so thankful.
I am not even sure if this song goes with what I previously said, but that topic has been heavily on my mind today, and this song has been in my heart (may not be the exact wording sorry!), so here goes.
I’ve had some bad days
And I’ve had hills to climb.
I’ve known some sad days and a weary mile.
Yet when I look about and think these things all out,
All of the good days, outweigh the bad days.
I can’t complain.
My God is so good to me so very good to me.
More than this world could be.
He’s so good to me.
His spirit came to me and gave me victory.
God is so good to me, I can’t complain.
Sometimes those clouds hang low.
I’d like to see them go.
And I ask the question, oh Lord.
Why so much pain,
But He knows what’s best for me, although I cannot see,
God is good to me, I can’t complain.
Oh my God is so good to me so very good to me.
More than this world could be.
He’s so good to me.
His spirit came to me and gave me victory.
God is so good to me, I can’t complain.

Why is it that some people go through bad things, and can't see God's intervention through it all. Yeah, we all have problems, but God is SO SO good to us, what do we have to complain about.
Love your spirit!
I think that we should set several 'goals' this year, NOT resolutions, but goals to work towards with our commitments and consecration to God. That way we can keep each other accountable. I will email you.
Bekki- it really is nice to have someone that does understand you and goals and resolutions are very very good ideas!!!
P.S. "People" also including a certain individual with super curly hair and a beautiful smile and willing to give up everything for a future with another. LOL
Hmmm... Who is the super curly haired person and who is the another that the future will be given to? lol!
Too bad you're not a guy. And I never knew about a penguin fetish. LOL
