Loving God is a wonderful way to live.
No matter what happens, I rarely feel alone, worried, or afraid. I always know in the back of my mind that He is watching over me. I always know He has a plan for my life; all I have to do to fulfill it is to stick close to Him and do the next right thing. I can trust His Holy Spirit to guide me about what that will be.
Despite already being saved and believing in God, I didn’t live my life as a devout Christian in the past. Once I begin really trying to live my life as a follower of Jesus Christ, according to the bible, I began to grow spiritually. This hasn’t meant that I haven’t still made mistakes or used bad judgment; I can still react the way I did before meeting Jesus Christ, but I am under the tutorship of the Holy Spirit now. I am made aware when I am out of the will of God, if I choose to listen to that inward nudge in the right direction.
Sometimes I feel as if I am attempting to get a degree in following Christ. This God-school of life has been the most interesting of all of my many educational endeavors thus far; these classes have meant the most. I want to succeed and receive a 4.0 (A) from God at the end of all of this.
Learning to be who God wants me to be is an all-consuming passion for me now. I know that when God is finished, I will be the best mother, friend, sister, and person that I can possibly be in my life. I will truly know how to love the way that He desires me to love. I will be at my most fruitful for Him. I will be the happiest I can ever be, because only God knows the real, true desires of my heart. And He wants these for me. He knows what will make me the happiest.

I never thought about it like that, getting a degree, but you are right. It makes me think about those that will say I got my degree from the School of Hard Knocks.
You made smile. I just got off work after a long, tiring day.
Thanks sis,
Love ya, Oz

Thanks for the reminder Adrienne. Too often my self-confidence will get away from me and I’ll start feeling smug about how mature I’ve become in my understanding of the Bible + of God Himself.
Every so often, (every few days is more like it), it’s good for me to “impose” some humility upon myself and get back to basics–love God; adore God; remember all that God has already done for me.
“He knows what will make me the happiest.” Not my will, but may His will be done.

Adrienne, I am sure you would do well in The God School and be at the top of the class. We all slip once in a while, but He is always there to guide us back to the right pass.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Have a blessed week,
Ed

Hey Tom, ltns. How are you???
Yes, whenever I feel smug or get too big for my britches, God quickly pokes my ego with a pin. And yes, may His will be done, always! God bless you, Tom.
