It's amazing what God does

when you finally decide to give everything to Him. I just read my previous blog, and I am very happy to say that all emotions and feelings I had and kept stumbling over are long gone. It's a very freeing feeling, and I am so glad that God opened my eyes so that I could see what I was being so blind to. :-)

Today in Sunday School, the message was on "Finding God's Will For My Life."

There are two things that are very wrong with that title. The first: It is not exactly my life. It is a life that I have been given to glorify God with. The second: Finding? God's will has never been lost. It does not need to be found. I SO NEEDED TO HEAR THIS THIS MORNING! I love when that happens! Lately, I have been seriously questioning if I need to undeclare theatre as my major. I just don't feel as passionate about it as I once did. So I've been asking, "Lord, what is is you want me to major in?" And I've done the dorkiest things like take career apptitude tests to see if any of the choices that they give me actaully interest me, and you know what?? I need to stop! Do I seriously think that there is a magical number of times that I will ask God and when I hit that time then He will tell me? Um, big negative. I have got to quit thinking about it and trust. Trust that He will tell me exactly when I need to know.

So often we burden ourselves with so much stress and pressure about things, and we don't have to. We don't have to carry those things. We weren't created to do that! God wants to take our load and carry it for us so that we can be free and praise and glorify Him.
Psamls 29:2 - Ascribe to the Lord the GLORY due to Him name.
Psalms 86:8 & Rev. 15:4 - All Nations You have made will come and worship before You, O Lord; they will bring glory to Your Name.

I feel complete. And refreshed. I'm ready for what He's going to do in our lives.

Have a fabulous week and know that you are adored by the Best Friend ever :-)

I love you JEICA S! You are wonderful and I am so thankful that God put you in my life. I really needed our talk the other night. Because of you I didn't give up on the class and actually wrote my story that was due the next day. So now I'm slowly working my way to not failing. Hooray! Have a special day and I'll be praying for you!
