Not everyday is a good one. With each day I’m a conqueror. Conquering the fear. Trying something new. I don’t like change. Not many do. I understand that. Right now, I’m in the one day at a time space of time. I always like to plan. I’ve always said I wanted peace. No, I don’t. I read something, and it said I wanted control. I can’t follow Jesus well if I want control. And newsflash: I really do want control, something I can’t have.
I’m a control addict. Pure and simple. Taking the reins off everything is testing my faith. Do I trust Him or my own misgivings. Don’t answer that question. I know the answer. I want, want, and want some more. Well in this season, another day, same lesson. This is what you need. Your wants won’t be met, because your needs need to come first before I can give you your wants.
Why do we ask the same questions, expecting different answers that we’re not going to get. Maybe I can change God’s mind. God didn’t come for my comfort, or my personal genie popping from the lamp, yet that’s what I demand.
Lord, when will I learn. Jesus isn’t giving me instant gratification. That character is being held to the fire. My legs are on fire. My muscles hurt so good after therapy. I hate it yet love it. Each bead of sweat is earned. Nothing like hard work being evidenced.
Character building. I guess that’s the name of this season.
Building character is many times the reason why we're put through tough and painful times. Hang in there!

ReplyDeleteI am struggling with my ankle and in so much pain now that I have been told to keep it moving! We somehow manage to get through things. Stay strong.
ReplyDeleteOur trials come to help make us stronger. As much as we don't like it, there is much to gain through the pain. As I said before, someday we will be able to see the big picture that God sees, and it will all make sense. Until then, we just have to trust Him. Yep, one day at a time. Sometimes one moment at a time. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteAnche a me non piace il cambiamento e vivo di pianificazione. A volte purtroppo non è possibile farlo e allora bisogna adattarsi e "seguire l'onda"
