• Change

  It is always been difficult for me to accept changes in my life and even more difficult for me to make changes in my life. In my mind, when something changes, I have always felt like that meant that I was no longer in control. It wasn't until recently that I realized that I am not supposed to be in control. I have realized that no matter what I do, my destiny, my life, is in God's hands. He is the one who is in control. Even though there were times that I felt I had control, in reality I never did.

  When I accepted that, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief. I know that I will not be faced with anything that I cannot overcome.
  
  "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
  -1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)

   

  I spent years not attending church or even involving myself in any type of prayer. I didn't exactly deny God but I didn't acknowledge Him either. I spent a lot of time dwelling on the bad things throughout my life and forgetting that I had many things to be thankful for. I think that when things tend to go wrong, I can easily forget that this life on this earth is merely a test for eternity. I know I have a lot of lost time that I have to makeup for but this is a test that I certainly don't want to fail. I have a long road ahead of me but at leas now I KNOW I am on the right path.

  Until just a few month ago I hadn't attended church regularly in more than 10 years. Last Sunday I officially joined the church I have been attending (2-3 times a week for the past 3 months). I am involved in a weekly bible study group and I am teaching the preschool Sunday school class.

  This journey of mine to a better relationship with God has really gotten me excited about life. I haven't felt that way in a VERY long time. I am actually looking forward to seeing what He has in store for me.
