the mind!

God, when I remember You- forgive me- when I remember You, things make so much more sense and I feel so much calmer.  It is like borrowing your perspective. 
Thank You.  I need You! All the time!


I struggle sometimes with the relationship topic. I'd like one, to be honest, and occasionally it brings me down. But when I turn my heart and thoughts towards God, that changes.

I feel peace about the future,
About friendships with guys,
about the day and everything that's part of it.

God changes my heart.  And He will as often as I let Him!
What a change in mindset from longing to confident in Christ, and wanting MORE of Christ.  (In that light a relationship actually looks like a distraction...) ... And a matter I can leave in God's trustworthy, capable hands - like a child trusting a trinket to an adult. The trinket gets put in the adult's pocket, and the child then pays little or no mind to it and skips happily along, living moment by moment without the worry about it. 

It is kind of like that.  We can trust that God is trusworthy, that He really loves us, and that He is in control...

Really. It is okay. God tells us Who He is in the Bible.  Do we really trust Him to be what He says?  Do your actions line up with your answer? 

I struggle with this, always it seems wanting to grasp a worry or thought and find out EVERY possible angle of it, or the ways it could turn out.  (Ginny! no.) God is faithful to teach me and show me HIS way. He's so patient.
This verse just seems relevant.

Romans 12:2
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will.


"More God, less me!"
