And when I can't see where I'm going, I'll keep on walking, yeah, I'll keep my faith.

I think it's CRAZY how God is speaking to me. I mean, I completelely mess up and I get angry and frustrated and blah blah blah, like we all do with God when things don't go our way, or we don't understand. But you go about praying to God with it in the wrong way. And then you read like a daily devotional from the day that you went through it and it was EXACTLY what you needed to hear. I mean, when will I finally come to a point where I will go to Him first?! Is it just me who goes through this process? Ah, is God patient with us or what?? I mean, He can't use me in the ways He wants to when I'm full of "stuff" so it's not like the best, but He is patient with us when we are willing to try. I'm not making a lot of sense because I'm really tired, but it's just awesome regardless of if I'm making sense. lol. :)

"Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer. What have I been hoping or trusting God would do? Is today "the third day" and He has still not done what I expected? Am I therefore justified in being dejected and in blaming God? Whenever we insist that God should give us an answer to prayer we are off track. The purpose of prayer is that we get ahold of God, not of the answer." - Oswald Chambers, yo. :)

Uhm, like seriously, that's crazy!!! And I know you dont' know why that's crazy, but you gotta understand that that morning I had been reading about how Israel and how God would destroy it, whom He loved, because they were putting things before Him, and they mentioned the third day when He will restore them. And I was just thinking, how does this relate to me? I kept turning a couple chapters and books and they all said something similiar. And then that devotion that I'm reading now, was on that day. It all related. lol, it's just awesome God things because sometimes I don't know what the future holds and I don't have the faith that I want in God because most of the time it doesn't make sense (which is why Scott's message was sweet too!). I just think I'm in a spiritual period of refocusing.

lol, it's 11:15 and this shows how tired I am. But regardless, God is amazing and meets us where we are so that we can do the work He has for us. Let's do some rebuilding in me, God. :)

I just read this part - "Yet we never realize that all the time God is at work in our everyday events and in the people around us. If we will only obey, and do the task that He has placed closest to us, we will see Him. One of the most amazing revelations of God comes to us when we learn that it is in the everyday things of life that we realize the magnificent deity of Jesus Christ. " - Oswald Chambers - What?! what?! hahaha.
