God is doing so much in me. Over the past few years, I have had so much hate and anger in me and God has taken that away. Whoever thinks that we can do it by ourselves...needs help. I say that as respectfully as I can.
With all this talk of the world ending in 2012 and loss of hope, I have found a whole sun-shiney closet full of hope in Jesus Christ. Hey, if the world does end, I'm going up to heaven! But I refuse to listen to such rantings of crazy people. (Again...no offense if you're one of them..ya just gotta get your head on right.(:)
There are so many people who I admire and who have helped ...birth? me into this happy, joy-filled, warm, loving life filled with a loving, living God. I have to shout-out to Randy Dean, Bill Johnson and a lot of the people from Bethel Church, and my parents. They are so amazing and my daddy keeps giving me tidbits of wisdom. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't thank God for having amazing parents who know what it feels like to go through a crappy time in your life and know that you can overcome it by leaning on God.
What never fails to sober me, though, is the worlds quest for a savior in the physical form, one that can bring peace, one that can talk smoothly and charm it up. A false savior. When tragedy happens, instead of turning to the one true God, they turn to a second, the second best (well.so they think. ha) When he fails, what then? Who are we going to turn to? God is trying to get our attention, but we don't listen. We don't pay attention. As a person who ignored God and refused to lean on him, because I wanted to lean on a guy or a person who was cool, I know the wrongness of this. God brought me down on my knees, because of my stubbornness, my refusal to see God as GOD. It was my own circumstances that brought me to him. I HAD CAUSED IT.
I love joy. I love having this everlasting peace. I wish the same thing for America and I know that they wish for it too. Then, hey...please quit trying everything on for your own pleasure.
Love you guys! Have a great, sun-shine-in-the-middle-of-November day! May Joy and Peace and Rest and Wisdom fill you up as you (I hope!) seek the Truth of the creation of this world and a God who truly loves.
