Throughout a tedious concussion recovery (and coming to a climax this past week), I've been having a fight with God. And not a little slap-fight--I mean a real sparring match with no rules and no ref that had turned into a war. I was rethinking everything, trying to find a reason why I shouldn't believe the Bible or shouldn't believe that God exists. I wanted out of having to believe. I wanted out of being compelled to follow a God whose love demanded obedience. I wanted out of having to watch a people who claimed to follow God, but so few of whom actually made a difference. In short, I fought. But it didn't work. I felt like I was pinned--I KNEW God was real; I KNEW He loved me, but yet I was caught in a recovery that flip-flopped like crazy. I wanted to do something to live out this faith that I couldn't fight, but I was stuck. So reading this was amazing and encouraging--sorta like a hug from a God who just beat me in the fight of my life. Wow.

One of my prayer journal entries today was asking God to PLEASE tell me what His plans where for my life because there are already two girls in my class where God has revealed to them what he wants to do through them. I mean, they already know and have already jump started on it and I sit there and I am praying thinking, "Ok God, this would be a great time for you to finally tell me what you want to do with my life...please! I really want to know, please tell me...please?" So yeah, lol! I got the answer today that I am in a time of preparing for the future He has in store for me, and I thought, "Oh boy!" lol! And, today I bought Modge Podge and currently one of my jounals is drying. I used your Creative Chic demonstation about how to do it. :-) Blessings, Maggie www.foreverfindingmybliss.blogspot.com Amazing post!
