Sometimes words don't come.
Well. I just want to say thanks to everyone who read my post and commented, they were much appreciated. Support is always a good thing, which is exactly what a Christ family is for. Thank you. Sometimes you dont have words to speak. Like right now for me. I'm not exactly sure what this post is about. This past week and this week I've been thinking about worrying and trusting. Just being willing to truly give up everything to God. It was Never ours to begin with, yet sometimes we are so unwilling to hand it over. Thankfully, sometimes, God takes it from us (I like it when that happens!) because we need it done. Either way, GOD KNOWS. Sometimes I find it hard to take courage in that! Because, as a human being I naturally want to know. By wanting to know and worrying and thinking about it, I am, in fact, doubting God's all powerful hand. I am lacking faith in God's ability as God. That .......is a scary place to be. When I feel this way, there is only one way to pull through. Actually, I can't even do it. Grace. Thats it. He gives it we take it........and it makes us so much more able then we could have ever dreamed. By nature, I am a curious person. I want to know about my future and about where I will be in five ten years. But, He will tell me when I am able to handle it. And you know what? I learn best when I can't wait any longer and I beg God to help me. It is then that He molds and shapes me more to Christ's image. For that I am eternally greatful. This week I've really tried to just be positive and work hard and strive for excellence, not for my bosses or myself, but for Christ's Kingdom. It has paid off. God has given bountiful grace to supply me with the tools to make it thru the day. I just had to trust and truly leave it to God to handle my day! So thats what I have tonight. May God Bless and I hope that we can all Lean on Him, When we are not strong.

1 Samuel 2:2 (King James Version)
2There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
Proverbs 3:4-6 (King James Version)
4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
I love you all and Have a great week, thru Christ alone.

That made me think of some stuff about Christ...and how He's the one who certifies us to the Father...and Delivers us...and stuff...And then I decided my thoughts were too abstract to really make sense to others, so there ya have it.
thanks for the attempt, Luke! :-P Just kidding...
*ok, back to the original program*
Cody, it's always beautiful to see your heart and how open and honest you are with yourself and God - much less and by the wayside are us, your readers, but very much blessed.
So many people try to run and forget about the pain instead of allowing it to heal and then focusing it to help others - as you have and are doing!
May you continue to keep an open heart and mind as you have many souls to help sooth in the coming years...
Cody, great thoughts. I found myself agreeing with everything you said as I read your post. I often find myself in that position, too: I want to know, and I want to know NOW. But if we knew everything, why would we need to trust? Exactly. God designed the process that way for a reason. If we knew everything God did, that would defeat the purpose of having faith in our omnipotent Creator. Our lives are in His hands, and sometimes the only way for us to realize that is to remember we're not in control. :) Much thanks for the post. Good reminder. T
Oops I didn't mean to post anonymously. One more thought: BOO YA to my life-long Euchre partner on our win the other night.
