My life lately…
I was driving my car down the highway the other day and, noticing the many cars passing me, I realized I live my life at a different pace than most people. Im never really in a hurry, I don’t really make alot of plans, I like being ‘in the moment’ and enjoying ‘right now’, just going with the flow I guess. God revealed to me that that’s not how I have been living my spiritual life and that is why I’ve been struggling lately. Im so excited I want to learn eveything RIGHT NOW, I want to experience everything RIGHT NOW. But trying to do everything RIGHT NOW was just leading to disapointment, failure, anger, frustration, confusion and doubt. I was a mess. Haha. God just told me to slow down. Relax. Live one day a time. Learn one day at a time. Simplify your faith. Its so easy, wake up and follow what God wants you to do TODAY. Don’t worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. You can’t say “Lord, Lord come on! I gave my life to you! Im ready! Let’s start doing miracles what are you waiting for! Im getting bored down here!! LETS GO!!!!!” If you give your life to God than stop trying to control the pace. Slow Down. Relax. One day at a time. Just pray, listen, react, enjoy, repeat. If you say God’s in control than let Him be in control.
So summer is almost here and for me that means all my friends are going to be coming back home, and all that comes with that. Basically constant partying and drinking. This has been making me nervous lately. I don’t want to just completely leave them all, and God’s not asking me to, because I know i can make a bigger difference being there and having my life be an example for them. I know from experience what its like to feel lost and finding someone to look up to for hope and then finding out that they are just as bad as everyone else. It makes you feel more hopeless than before. So I pray that I can stay strong, and that I can make my life an example for them. And so I leave you with this video one of my many favorite Keith Green songs…
