Rolling with the Punches
Life is definitely not something that you can plan out. Sometimes things happen that you weren't expecting or that you don't like. I know we all have those stupid curve balls in our lives that we wish weren't there. That pretty much seems to be the theme in my life lately. However I'm discovering that when life happens, you have two options. Either sit there crying, wallowing in selfpity like some dreadful whelp. Or you can take it to God and see what He has to say about the situation, you can go cry in His arms and ask Him for help. I've tried dealing with my curve balls both ways, and I've discovered that the latter works much better. As of yesterday some pretty devestating things are going on in my life right now. They have the potential to turn out ok, but it's been pretty unnerving and scary. At first I just cried about everything, but then I decided that crying about it wasn't going to fix the situation, and that only God can really fix it. Only He can breathe life back into this situation. So I've done a lot of praying, and worship (I've been listening to worship music all day at work.) and I've been really searching God's heart about this situation. I'm still a little scared about all of it, and I don't know how it's going to turn out. But as my best friend always says "I know that I know that everything will end up ok." It's very true, God will take care of me, and He's already been doing some major heart changes in me which is pretty cool. So yeah, if I can just get it through my head that God's is much better at fixing my problems then I am, my life is going to be much better, calmer, and happier. I'm already feeling better about this situation, not nessessarily confident of the outcome, but definitely confident that God is going to keep me ok.
