I think it is harder to write when you are having a bad week compared to the weeks when you are really learning from God. Not that God changes, I do. I guess with my page I wanted it to all be for the glory of God, so when I feel like I have let God down or haven't had the best week that I simply shouldn't write. And then I realized that would be defeating the whole purpose of showing who God is and what He does in my life. Sometimes I don't understand what God is doing, but I know He is there and that He loves me more than I will ever know. I know that God is always teaching and wants to let His love flow into every part of my life. It is easy to focus on myself and continually ask "What is God doing for me?" When really I should be asking, "What can I do for others to show the love God has for me and the sacrifice He has made?" In John, Jesus tells us to abide in His love. To live every day in His wonderful and beautiful love and let that spill over to everyone we meet through the day. It is too easy for me to focus on God and only what He is giving me, when I'm still living with out His love in certain areas of my life. God is showing me that I can never have too much patience, compassion, and love for others (even my family :). I should never be settled with how I live my life, because if I'M living my life then there is something wrong right there. I know that seeking God and yielding to Him each day should be my goal. I pray that God will humble me daily and show me what His love is all about. There are so many lessons to learn and things in my life that should be traded for Jesus. I pray that God will bring me to the point where every decision is made with Him guiding me and that I can be similar to Amy Carmichael in "only focusing on that which is eternal."
