Why does this submitting to God have to be so hard?
Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. (2) Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be to test what God's will is - his good, pleasing, and perfect will. If I never thought that God was moving in my life, this is the week I have been proved WRONG. Last Sunday, I woke up knowing something was off. (That's the only way to explain it.) Things that I had been thinking about were really heavy on my heart. "Was I submitting to God? What do I need to do? Are you listening to Him?" I went through church hardly talking or looking at anyone for fear of breaking down emotionally.I went to the altar and wept, and wept, uncontrollably. I cried for Him to forgive me for not letting go, for not submitting to His will. Later, I come to find out, that was ...
What happens when you've had a fairly good week? The devil takes the time to pull you down. I am feeling it right now. I have this problem that once one thing goes wrong, everything seems to go wrong. My day started off extremely bad, I took the whole situation to heart, cried, prayed, and as much as I tried to enjoy the rest of my day, I felt like I was on the verge of tears all day. Then found out some news about my job, wasn't too happy with it, not devastated, but just disappointed, and I felt like I was slowly being pulled down. Then after school my youngest had to argue with me, yell at me, try to hit me, and that's when I lost it, the tears wouldn't stop. I would love to just wrap up in a blanket and sleep for days, but I know that's not what God wants. He wants me to live my life with joy. WITH JOY. Why is this such a hard concept for me?
If you know me, you know I am super scared of heights! So, I can't stand roller coasters. The speed doesn't bother me, because, I'm kind of a speed freak, but the height makes me want to puke! I've only been on one roller coaster in my life and that was at the age of 10. My dad forced me to go, boy did he regret that! I was so scared that I bit his shoulder! Haha! TAKE THAT!!! Anyways, back to where I was going with this, you know that feeling when you hit the low spot? You know that feeling that makes your stomach drop? Then you start slowly climbing the next hill and you hear the click-click-click of the gears on the coaster and your stomach starts to get a quesy feeling and you want to just jump off or yell STOP! I change my mind! Then all of sudden it feels like the floor just dropped out from under you and you really want to puke! I would have never thought that I could feel all of those feelings without actually being on a roller coaster! I have had a...
