live well, learn plenty, laugh often, love much

-Ralph Waldo Emerson


if the Lord delights in a man's way,
he makes his steps firm;
though he stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
psalm 37:23-24

trusting God

trusting God. it seems like such a simple and easy statement, but it isn't.

i often look at the decisions i make in my life and many times i find that God plays a very small part in making a decision. usually, i make a decision about something, then i go to God to confirm my decision. of course, when i say that, i mean i tell God what i'm gonna do and give him a split second to try to stop me.

i think the reason i do this is because a part of me thinks that God always has the "right" answer to every situation. i have this perception that God knows that i know that he knows what i should do and that i better make the right decision or else God will be angry with me. but that's being unfair to God. he doesn't want to make my decisions for me. he wants me to come to him with my problems because he can be my strong tower that will always be there for me, no matter what decision i make.

the struggle is doing that in all situations. it is easy to come to God with the small things, but going to God with the big things is quite intimidating. in the bible, there are countless stories of when God took care of his people even after they turned their backs on him. God is unwavering. he is solid.

in this chaotic and fickle world, who better to turn to than someone whose name is Everlasting Father?

questions...

what does it mean to be a good person?

if the people in your life are split on an issue that you find yourself in, which side are you supposed to choose? keep in mind that the side that you want to choose is also the side that will hurt those closest to you. do you choose the side that keeps those closest to you even though it makes you unhappy? at what point is it okay to be a little selfish?

a fresh start

the past couple of weeks have been difficult. but alas, it is a new year. although nothing much about the way i look or live my life has changed from 2009 to 2010, just the thought that this is a new year gives me hope for a brighter future.

what i need is a fresh start. not only in my relationship with God, but in the way i live my life. people say that change happens for a reason, that something positive can come out of unwanted change. with the start of the new year, i want to hold onto hope, hope that pulls me out and beyond my own view of the world. i want to see the good that is hidden behind the bitter things in life. i want to love life and the world around me, the way God loves it.

so a fresh start is what i need. yes, indeed.
