| Do you ever hear a song that really explains what you are going through in life? God has been teaching me so many lessons, and I have been wanting to blog about them, but I have a hard time putting my thoughts and feelings down. I heard a song today by Kenny Chesney titled "Being Drunk's a Lot Like Loving You." Now just to get things straight, I have never been a drunk, so don't jump to conclusions. Here are the lyrics:
"I drank til I stumbled, I drank til I fell. When the drunk part was over it hurt me like Hell. Now I know about drinking, so I know one thing's true: being drunk's a lot like loving you. Cuz i loved til I stumbled, I loved til I fell. When the lovin was over it hurt me like Hell. Now I know what a taste of the wrong love can do; being drunk's a lot like lovin you.
And I've woken some mornings and sworn off the drink. At that I've done reasonably well, I think. But I haven't done well swearin off you and me; at that I've failed miserably. Well I've felt the hangover of lovin all night. I've sat at the bar all alone in a fight. I've bottled up feelings, and poured them out too. Being drunk's a lot like loving you.
Though I know what the taste of the wrong love can do, sometimes I still get drunk lovin you..."
So it is obvious that God is teaching me quite a lesson in relationships. However, I definitely wish that this was one lesson I could learn about in the books! Til next time... | | |
| So on Sunday evening, Tavo asked us all a question along the lines of letting God having complete control of our lives. Not just letting Him have what we are comfortable giving, but EVERYTHING?? My question is, how do you know if you are or not? When I asked Tavo, he asked me if I was scared, anxious, excited, etc. I am, but I don't know if those feelings are for the right reasons or not. I am scared to have my dad so far away, I am scared to move in with my aunt, and I am anxious and excited to see what God holds for my future. Tavo ended his response with "I'm guessing you are probably not."
I was so disappointed, but yet, I wasn't surprised. I want to surrender my life fully to God. I want Him to take over my life and to shape me to be the person He created me to be. I want to serve Him with all my heart and all my soul. The only problem is, if I am not letting Him guide my life now, what else do I have to do? | | |
| God has recently been showing me new sides of myself. I have never been a strong person, but that is an area that I am definitely growing in. I am learning some new things about my friendships as well.
I have to ask, how much effort should one put into a friendship or relationship?? I know that friendships should not all be fun, but I don't think that it should be something that is hard work, all the time. I know that love, support, and a shoulder to cry on is necessary. But after how many heart aches and ups and downs should one say enough?? Help... | | |
| Well, here we go. My life is transitioning once again. I am growing as a person, and the craziest thing is that I can feel it. About a month ago, I was going through some pretty crazy times, and I realized that it was God stretching me and helping me grow as a person. It was exciting, painful, and, most of all, scary. It was the first time I had ever experienced God's power and presence so strong in my life. In this experience I was hurt, I hurt others, and I was humbled by my Creator. Now I emerge as a stronger person. I have learned so many new things about myself, and the really exciting part is that God is nowhere near done!
Currently, I live with my dad and step-mom, but unfortunately, they are moving out of state in less than a month. I love them, and as selfish as it may sound, I am beginning to feel quite abandoned. However, I am finding that the scariest thing for me is that my life seems to be in one of those weird in-between stages again. I am moving in with anothe family member, I had just started a new job, and just a few months ago I had become a member at a new church. Everytime I think that I have a grasp on my life, God humbles me and shows me otherwise. I really don't know which direction my life is heading, and all I can do is pray that I keep my eyes on God and let Him in control. It is still so hard for me to rememer that I am not in control of my own life, and that I should just sit back and enjoy the ride that is life.
