That is me list of all I need for the day. Cough drops, because living in close proximity with a bunch of other people lead ti icky sickness. Crocs because I don't believe it will ever stop raining, EVER. Christ because He is the only one who will be able to get me through these next few days and weeks. I need to learn to lean on Him like I never have before. I need to be constantly reminded of that through daily struggles but it is good for me. Like the songs states "I will stumble, I will fall down, but I will not be moved". I have my resolve set now to flee from whatever temptation come my way. I'm sick of waiting and praying for God to come save me and yet not doing anything about it at all. He gives me opportunities to get out of my trouble but I just push them to the side without a second glance. He has given me AMAZING friends that at this point are beyond words. Yet I have been stubborn, refusing to listen to them because I believe I can do things on my own.
I am wrong. I am desperately wrong. There is nothing I can do without Christ my Savior and to not recognize that fact would be devastating. I need to turn and run to Him with all my hurt, distrust, loneliness, desperation, and rejection for He is the only one who can meet my needs. Worldly things cannot help me deal with these problems and I must learn to face my fears and trials face to face, and with God at my side. I must also put faith in my friends whom God has placed in my life to give me help along the way with whatever challenge I am facing.
I am reminded of the sermon that Paster Mark preached yesterday. How we must answer the 3 "Really Big" questions before we even consider the three "Pretty Big" questions. I realized that this is very true in my own life and I need a refocusing of sorts.
But chemistry class is calling and so is my stomach, but I'm almost out of granola bars. meh. I'll have to start getting up earlier to make oatmeal. Which is ok.
I guess.
