Mild frustration...

I can't really understand... Why can a person be so positive, yet nobody seems to share that positive outlook. It makes me feel as if sometimes people don't remember what their lives were like 25 years ago. Is it a fact that all people want is a traditional family for themselves and for their family? I'm not sure. It could be poor word choices or other issues. I'm starting to hate the words "have you ever considered..." It just makes me angry. I want to include my family truly I do, but the more I let them in the more they seem to feel the need to give their input whether I want it or not...

Pray on...

Spread the Word!

I've felt, in the last week a substantial burden to witness and spread the Gospel. It is a bold statement, but a true one. A minister came to our church 1 week ago preaching about how there are not many people who actually go out to spread the Gospel. He said that it we should go after people like Jesus did. Ministering to the sick, drunkards, adulterers, criminals, and basically those that are lost.

For a few days after this short, yet powerful sermon, I continually thought about what had been said. The Holy Spirit was doing something in my heart and mind and still is to this moment that I write this. Can I explain how I feel? Joy, excitement, fear, anticipation, courage all at the same time!

If you could understand...

I truly love the Lord. I seriously have a problem with not giving some kind of recognition to Him for what He is doing. It may be that he is doing something spectacular in my life; I give him credit. Sometimes I feel like He is doing something stupid in my life, that sounds bad but it is how I feel sometimes. I've had a problem with this for some time, blaming in one breath and giving thanks in the next.
About a week ago I read a passage in 1 Thesselonians 2:18 about Satan hindering Paul from his travels to these people. It just bugs me that sometimes I blame God for things that He potentially isn't stopping me from doing. It may be that Satan is actually hindering me. It will take some time of prayer and reflection as well as more study, to discover the ways in which the devil hinders me. It will also be necessary for discerning what the things are that God wants me to do and not do.

God Bless,
