Been A Long Time

No matter what I do I can't escape the inevitabilities of life. We all have to face the rough stuff that life throws at us. Its just reality. The questions about what tomorrow brings and how to deal with the consequences of yesterday. In all honesty I'm sick and tired of questions. I've spent too much of my life living in questions. I'M DONE!

Seriously though, my thought life has been consumed with "what if's" and "what comes next?" and "why?" I know its human nature to visit these thoughts from time to time but I've decided I'm done with living in the past, in what could have happened, or what may happen. Good grief I'm tired of it. Frankly it sucks.

Christ didn't call me to live like this. He calls me to live a life a faith DAILY. I don't know what will happen but I'm reminding myself to put my life in his hands and let him deal with it. He offered to take it upon himself and I'm shooting myself in the foot by not letting him. It's funny how God gave me this verse today. I was telling my buddy about whats been on my mind and this verse popped up on his computer on a bible widget. So I'm gonna meditate on Lamentations 3:22-24 and I encourage you to as well. We don't know what tomorrow holds, but there is enough prayer and work in the Lord to be done today on the behalf of those we care about, those in need, those God lays uniquely on our hearts. So lets be proactive despite all that goes on and live!
Lamentations 3:22-24
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."
