Why can't I live in a better house? Why can't I love everyone around, including the jerks? My answers are these: maybe I live in this house to show me humility. Maybe I can't love everyone because I don't want to get to know them and know what troubles they might be going through. Maybe it's also because I don't really love Jesus the way I say I do. I do love Jesus, but why isn't that love showing through my life? God has a purpose for where we are right now. <br />And a few weeks ago, my pastor preached on enjoying God's presence. That message helped me because I didn't feel close to Him like I used to. He said that we needed to be committed to God; clean, cleansed from sin that we might not know about; contrite, miserable over sin everywhere - not just our sin, everyone's sin. We need to be humble and praying.<br />Maybe praying and taking these emotions to God and just letting Him know your heart and how you feel will help. It's always helped me, because it makes me realize that God is right here and asking me to give Him my heavy load.<br />I hope this has helped.<br />Heidi<3 Heidi Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258301488118305805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212199744270566790.post-68059795502499023412013-10-14T10:21:08.994-04:002013-10-14T10:21:08.994-04:00I love the new design!

Paul was certainly a good model for contentment. I am struggling with this right now...it's very hard to recognize and be okay with the fact that God's plans are different than my own. While it's quite terrifying at times, it's really the only hope I have. I know that God has big plans for my future...this isn't all there is.

My pastor's message this morning was about how as Christians we will have trials and tribulations, but the Lord is always there to carry us through them. He stated that, we will enter the trial "knowing about God" and leave the trial behind "knowing God". Do not be discouraged. There is a reason for everything, although you may not know the meaing quite yet.<br />KelsiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224011345779886836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212199744270566790.post-61851854790424648142013-10-13T23:51:25.261-04:002013-10-13T23:51:25.261-04:00your new design is absolutely beautiful :) :) your new design is absolutely beautiful :) :) Jenna Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398567976655319638noreply@blogger.com
