Another Reason, Another Season

God is good and he has so much to teach me. Even in the midst of frustration I have to trust that he is holding me and has not forgotten me. Today is just one of those days...I'm not exactly sure what God is trying to teach me but I can only rely on Him to get me through it. So here I venture into another season of testing and of discipline and I am far from knowing why.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Although this is a verse that I have heard many times, it really sinks in and is comforting to know that God does know the plans he has for us. While we run around like chickens with our heads cut off, God is up there on his throne and has total control.

Hot Soup

So I apologize to whoever ends up reading my blogs because it seems that the only times I actually log in is to vent. So here I am, frustrated at the disappointments in life. Things just don't seem to go the way they are supposed too, such as parents providing for their children or actually taking responsibility and doing something about their situation. Things have changed so much since I graduated--so many responsibilities have just been dumped in my lap like hot soup...and here I am, pulling out all of my crazy analogies. So, I take comfort in the fact that God knows what we're going through-he knows and I don't blame him for our trouble because it is definitely not his fault. Why do people blame God for our silly decisions? He's here to comfort us and help us to get out of the hole that we have fallen into. Oh God, only you can bring relief to such a desperate situation.
