Change

It's a huge and necessary part of life but sometimes I just hate it. Plain and simple.

I suppose I may add more to this post later on but that's all for right now.

Good to be back...

Writing is good for my soul. Hearing the keys being hit by my fingers is great therapy for my tired spirit. When I was younger I used to want be older, be smarter, be prettier, be funnier. In essence, I just wanted to be someone completely different from who God, the creator of the universe and yet the lover of my soul, intended me to be. It has be a long and still ongoing process but I can honestly say I am content. I am content in who Christ has called me to be. I am content with the decisions that I know God has and is calling me to make. I am content in knowing that God has called me to a higher standard and, although the road is hard, He is worth it all. Content, in this viewpoint, is not to be seen as complacent yet having a peace. A peace that things will work out and God will provide. I have a peace that God will fulfill his promises. Don't get me wrong, I of all people, know how easy it is to get dissatisfied or even anxious that God won't fulfill His word.
However, in Romans 4:20-21, Paul is referring to Abraham and says, "Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised." This is the attitude and trust level that we are called to have in Christ. Our trust in God should not be dependent on our feelings and the praise the Lord that is power is not limited to our feelings. I sure am glad that my finite understanding is not all that the God that I serve is limited to. Praise God, I don't understand everything. For when I am weak, then I am strong...
