So let me first start off by telling you guys that my mouth can sometimes get me in trouble. So the first day I started my devotional in Jesus is Calling book, I found out something very interesting. That when God is trying to get your attention he doesn't stop he is always doing it. Well it first started out with my parents I guess, that my mouth gets me in trouble basically its not what you say its how you say it, also my facial expressions speak a thousand words. Then I met Mike and he has told me the same thing. Now when your parents tell you this your like "whatever" they are my parents. Well when the man you love tells you this then you start to believe it. Now when you are out to lunch with friends after church and two other people tell you then that should make you think about it for real. Well of course I am really stubborn and need to work on that as well, but anyway I didn't listen to them. Well of course August 2, 2011 mark the date, God spoke to me through my devotional and it was about my mouth. How crazy is that, that when I turned to that page the first words are "WATCH YOUR WORDS DILIGENTLY." Hello! Its even in all caps now if that is not telling me something then I don't know what is. So I have learned to pray "Help Me Holy Spirit." So this is something I need to work on.
So are you keeping up there are two things that I need to work on stubborness, my mouth (James 1:19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry), and now its not letting God take control of my life.
I have a really hard time with that one...okay maybe all of them but I need to remember at all times that God is in Control. You see I am going through a situation with my job and wasn't quite sure what to do. But with prayer and the help of my wonderful husband. I am going to stay there until I find another job. Because God has something bigger and better planned for me somewhere along the road. My hardest thing is remembering that, you see I get stressed about things like that. I am a stressed person and a worrier. But if we can, including me, remember that he is in control and he will guide us on the path that we need to take. We just have to be willing to let him have is way in us.
I love you all and Goodnight!
