Hmmm..Don't Have A Title For This One
It's funny how we can tell people about the great things we have witnessed and the wonderful things the Lord is doing in our lives, but when things don't go our way.....we hold a grudge or pass judgment. I have done this so many times and in so many ways continue to do so, but as my temper gets shaped by the Lord and I stop letting my anger and hurt get in the way of what I am really put here to do, it will not only be pleasing for those around me, but to the Lord as well. I continue to do and say things that hurt people and I also find myself making the dumbest decisions and thinking that it is best for me when it really isn't. How stupid do you guys feel when you get the result of something you thought....key word "thought" you were doing that right thing for you at the time, but then realize it was the dumbest thing you could have ever done? If that question was asked everyday, I know I would have a butt-load of things to say about the constant craziness I do. I have recently realized ( that i have been rhyming through the past 2 sentences..haha) how much I do those dumb things. I am sure most...if not all of you can relate to what I am saying. How many times do we get angry at something and go off? Then once you go off and make a donkey of yourself, it's explained to you in a way that you never thought before and you have that look of "crap!.....what was I thinking?". See, I know I am not the only one that has done this. I may have done it more than the average person, but you have all done it or continue to do so at least once a week, or more ;) I have actually, believe it or not, been getting better at this. I think it's because I have been spending more time in the word and praying for Christ to be more on my heart throughout the day. Instead of feeling bad and continually making the same mistakes over and over, change for the good of God. He knows our hearts and wants us to lean on Him. He wants us to trust in Him ALONE! We are dumb people guys.....we have nothing.....but through Christ we have become something! As we go to church, read our bibles, take notes and go to our bible studies and discipleships.....we should be unleashing the Christ in us and letting others see that we are not perfect, but so imperfect that we have to lean on Christ. Instead of talking as if you are angry at the world or thinking that something is not fair, look at your bible, think about the cross and what Jesus did for all of us and what we have done for Him, compare the two and pray that we can all be so loving to one another as He was and continues to be. This doesn't mean we have to be perfect. Of course it is something none of us could ever be :) God is good!! :)

They aren't always deep....hence, the stocking over my face....I mean how serious was that? Unless I got it stuck on my face for real, it was funny....actually it still would have been funny if it was stuck, but the razor post was good, you've got to shave Allison, and that's serious and deep. haha I love you girls ;)
